The estimation of rotational and translational entropies in the context of ligand binding has been the subject of long-time investigations. The high dimensionality (6) of the problem and the limited amount of sampling often prevents the required resolution to provide accurate estimates by the histogram method. Recently the nearest-neighbor distance method has been applied to the problem but the solutions provided either address rotation and translation separately, lacking therefore correlations, or use a heuristic approach. Here we address rototranslational entropy estimation in the context of nearest-neighbor based entropy estimation, solve the problem numerically and provide an exact and an approximate method to estimate the full rototranslational entropy.

Abstract

The estimation of rotational and translational entropies in the context of ligand binding has been the subject of long-time investigations. The high dimensionality (6) of the problem and the limited amount of sampling often prevents the required resolution to provide accurate estimates by the histogram method. Recently the nearest-neighbor distance method has been applied to the problem but the solutions provided either address rotation and translation separately, lacking therefore correlations, or use a heuristic approach. Here we address rototranslational entropy estimation in the context of nearest-neighbor based entropy estimation, solve the problem numerically and provide an exact and an approximate method to estimate the full rototranslational entropy.
