Standard binding free energies from computer simulations: What is the best strategy? (2012, background): “74 The current shortcoming is evidently irrelevant for coupling and decoupling transformations, which in large measure ignore the topology of the binding site of the protein.”
Enhanced Sampling in Molecular Dynamics Using Metadynamics, Replica-Exchange, and Temperature-Acceleration (2013, methodology): “When working in CVs, the string method is used to find minimal free-energy paths (MFEP’s) [229].”
