Stages used in the free energy calculation of a four-fragment molecule, corresponding to Eq. (10). The initial stages proceed in analogy to Fig. 1, with pair-wise interactions added one at a time for neighboring (“bonded”) fragments. In the final stage, all remaining interactions are added. Other, more incremental staging schemes are possible, but were not necessary in the present study.
