The efficiency and accuracy of thermodynamic cycle calculations are considered. It is rigorously shown that the energy of the mutated part (MP) need not be scaled in a thermodynamic cycle computed with dual topology. Hence, there is no need to scale to zero any of the self-interactions (i.e. the interactions involving only particles of the same MP) regardless of whether the MP is bound or not to the main system. This observation carries a promise to lower computational resources and increase acc ...[more]
