Hydration Free Energies of Linear Alkanes: Evaluating and Correcting Classical Force Field Predictions with Different Water Models
Common force fields tend to overestimate the hydration free energies of hydrophobic solutes, leading to an exaggerated hydrophobic effect. We compute the hydration free energies of linear alkanes from methane to eicosane (C$_{20}$H$_{42}$) using free energy perturbation with various three-site (SPC/E, OPC3) and four-site (TIP4P/2005, OPC) water models and the TraPPE-UA force field for alkanes. All water models overestimate the hydration free energies, though the four-site models perform better …
