<strong>Free</strong>-<strong>energy</strong> perturbation <strong>calculations</strong> A pictorial representation of free-<strong>energy</strong> perturbation<br />

Important regions are volumes that encompass configurations of the system with<br />

highly probable <strong>energy</strong> values.<br />

A configuration in the important region should have the potential <strong>energy</strong>, the probability<br />

of which is higher than a given, predefined value.<br />

Configurations that belong to the important regions are expected to make significant<br />

contributions to the free <strong>energy</strong> and ought to be adequately sampled.<br />
