Define the excess free energy (or PMF) for the system at X arising from the applied membrane voltage V and averaged over all solvent degrees of freedom Y
The constant field in PBC
Displacement charge
There are 3 routes that can be exploited:
• “W” PMF with & without voltage
• “Qd” Average displacement charge (with or without voltage)
• “G” Free energy of charging with & without voltage
Application of the Q-route to the VSD of Kv1.2
Correlation time is about 10 ns
RMS fluctuations are related to capacitance
