Table 1: Results from free energy calculations that summarize values obtained for Δμh at 298 K.

Data for the temperature dependence of Δμh were fit to equation (1), setting T0 = 298 K, to extract values for Δh and ΔcP.

As with the default ABSINTH model, in ABSINTH-T, the rFoS values, and therefore the Δh values we used for ionizable residues are offset from the calculated Δμh by a fixed constant of −30 kcal/mol. This, as was shown in the original work, is required to avoid the chelation of solution ions around ionizable residues. This “feature” remains a continuing weakness of the ABSINTH paradigm and one that we hope to remedy through suitable generalization of the model used in ABSINTH to interpolate between fully solvated and fully desolvated states.
