Within this work GROMACS computational molecular dynamics simulations were performed to determine the free energy of solvation of an n-decane molecule. The pull-code was utilized to draw the molecule across z-space to span from an initial gas state to a final solubilized state. The free energy was computed at each location of the molecule and this quantity is presented as a function of space for multiple alcohol contents. A single simulation of n-dodecane is considered for comparison in 100% water.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
