 means to study free energy differences associated with diverse processes such as the binding affinities of ligands, enzymatic reactions, the solubility of organic molecules, as well as the effect of point mutations and post-translational modifications in a
 quantitative way. Thus, free energy calculations represent an interesting option for analyzing systems that are not directly accessible to experimental approaches. In particular, the presentation focuses on the results of ligand binding calculations in the
 blind SAMPL3 binding prediction competition as well as the effect of point mutations on protein stability in aqueous solution.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
