CVs considered in binding free-energy calculations

CV Description (the ligand with respect to the protein) Ligand movement mode
RMSD RMSD of ligand heavy atoms with respect to its bound-state conformation Conformational
Θ Roll angle from the bound-state orientation Orientational
Φ Pitch angle from the bound-state orientation Orientational
Ψ Yaw angle from the bound-state orientation Orientational
θ Polar angle in spherical coordinates Positional
φ Azimuthal angle in spherical coordinates Positional
r Center-of-mass distance Positional
