Binding free energies — MM/PBSA and alchemical methods

We develop methods to predict binding free energies for drug discovery: GPU-accelerated MM/PBSA for protein–ligand and membrane-protein systems, and alchemical free-energy perturbation made robust by singularity-free softcore potentials (DEGAUSS). The goal is accurate, efficient affinity prediction across diverse targets.
