| Abstract: |
Liquid state theories such as integral equations and classical density functional theory often overestimate the bulk pressure of fluids because they require closure relations or truncations of functionals. Consequently, the cost to create a molecular cavity in the fluid is no longer negligible, and those theories predict incorrect solvation free energies. We show how to correct them simply by computing an optimized Van der Walls volume of the solute and removing the undue free energy to create such volume in the fluid. Given this versatile correction, we demonstrate that state-of-the-art solvation theories can predict, within seconds, hydration free energies of a benchmark of small neutral drug-like molecules with the same accuracy as day-long molecular simulations.
