Abstract
In the signal analysis context, the entropy concept can characterize signal properties for detecting anomalies or non-representative behaviors in fiscal systems. In motor fault detection theory, entropy can measure disorder or uncertainty, aiding in detecting and classifying faults or abnormal operation conditions. This is especially relevant in industrial processes, where early motor fault detection can prevent progressive damage, operational interruptions, or potentially dangerous situations. The study of motor fault detection based on entropy theory holds significant academic relevance too, effectively bridging theoretical frameworks with industrial exigencies. As industrial sectors progress, applying entropy-based methodologies becomes indispensable for ensuring machinery integrity based on control and monitoring systems. This academic endeavor enhances the understanding of signal processing methodologies and accelerates progress in artificial intelligence and other modern knowledge areas. A wide variety of entropy-based methods have been employed for motor fault detection. This process involves assessing the complexity of measured signals from electrical motors, such as vibrations or stator currents, to form feature vectors. These vectors are then fed into artificial-intelligence-based classifiers to distinguish between healthy and faulty motor signals. This paper discusses some recent references to entropy methods and a summary of the most relevant results reported for fault detection over the last 10 years.

Abstract
The thermodynamic parameters of host-guest binding can be used to describe, understand, and predict molecular recognition events in aqueous systems. However, interpreting binding thermodynamics remains challenging, even for these relatively simple molecules, as they are determined by both direct and solvent-mediated host-guest interactions. In this contribution, we focus on the contributions of water to binding by studying binding thermodynamics, both experimentally and computationally, for a series of nearly rigid, electrically neutral host-guest systems and report the temperature-dependent thermodynamic binding contributions ΔGb(T), ΔHb(T), ΔSb(T), and ΔCp,b. Combining isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) measurements with molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, we provide insight into the binding forces at play for the macrocyclic hosts cucurbit[n]uril (CBn, n = 7-8) and β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) with a range of guest molecules. We find consistently negative changes in heat capacity on binding (ΔCp,b) for all systems studied herein - as well as for literature host-guest systems - indicating increased enthalpic driving forces for binding at higher temperatures. We ascribe these trends to solvation effects, as the solvent properties of water deteriorate as temperature rises. Unlike the entropic and enthalpic contributions to binding, with their differing signs and magnitudes for the classical and non-classical hydrophobic effect, heat capacity changes appear to be a unifying and more general feature of host-guest complex formation in water. This work has implications for understanding protein-ligand interactions and other complex systems in aqueous environments.

Abstract
The energy-entropy multiscale cell correlation (EE-MCC) method is used to calculate toluene-water log P values of 16 drug molecules in the SAMPL9 physical properties challenge. EE-MCC calculates the free energy, energy and entropy from molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of the water and toluene solutions. Specifically, MCC evaluates entropy by partitioning the system into cells of correlated atoms at multiple length scales and further partitioning the local coordinates into energy wells, yielding vibrational and topographical terms from the energy-well sizes and probabilities. The log P values calculated by EE-MCC using three 200 ns MD simulations have a mean average error of 0.82 and standard error of the mean of 0.97 versus experiment, which is comparable with the best methods entered in SAMPL9. The main contribution to log P is from energy. Less polar drugs have more favourable energies of transfer. The entropy of transfer consists of increased solute vibrational and conformational terms in toluene due to weaker interactions, fewer solute positions in the larger-molecule solvent, reduced water vibrational entropy, negligible change in toluene vibrational entropy, and gains in solvent orientational entropy. The solvent entropy contributions here may be slightly underestimated because software limitations and statistical fluctuations meant that only the first shell could be included while averaged over the whole solution. Nonetheless, such issues will be addressed in future software to offer a general method to calculate entropy directly from MD simulation and to provide molecular understanding or guide system design.

Abstract
Atomic-level understanding of the dynamic feature of host–guest interactions remains a central challenge in supramolecular chemistry. The remarkable guest binding behavior of the Cucurbiturils family of supramolecular containers makes them promising drug carriers. Among Cucurbit[n]urils, Cucurbit[8]uril (CB8) has an intermediate portal size and cavity volume. It can exploit almost all host–guest recognition motifs formed by this host family. In our previous work, an extensive computational investigation of the binding of seven commonly abused and structurally diverse drugs to the CB8 host was performed, and a general dynamic binding picture of CB8-guest interactions was obtained. Further, two widely used fixed-charge models for drug-like molecules were investigated and compared in great detail, aiming at providing guidelines in choosing an appropriate charge scheme in host-guest modelling. Iterative refitting of atomic charges leads to improved binding thermodynamics and the best root-mean-squared deviation from the experimental reference is 2.6 kcal/mol. In this work, we focus on a thorough evaluation of the remaining parts of classical force fields, i.e., the bonded interactions. The widely used general Amber force fields are assessed and refitted with generalized force-matching to improve the intra-molecular conformational preference, and thus the description of inter-molecular host–guest interactions. The interaction pattern and binding thermodynamics show a significant dependence on the modelling parameters. The refitted system-specific parameter set improves the consistency of the modelling results and the experimental reference significantly. Finally, combining the previous charge-scheme comparison and the current force-field refitting, we provide general guidelines for the theoretical modelling of host–guest binding.

Abstract
The protein-ligand binding affinity quantifies the binding strength between a protein and its ligand. Computer modeling and simulations can be used to estimate the binding affinity or binding free energy using data- or physics-driven methods or a combination thereof. Here we discuss a purely physics-based sampling approach based on biased molecular dynamics simulations. Our proposed method generalizes and simplifies previously suggested stratification strategies that use umbrella sampling or other enhanced sampling simulations with additional collective-variable-based restraints. The approach presented here uses a flexible scheme that can be easily tailored for any system of interest. We estimate the binding affinity of human fibroblast growth factor 1 to heparin hexasaccharide based on the available crystal structure of the complex as the initial model and four different variations of the proposed method to compare against the experimentally determined binding affinity obtained from isothermal titration calorimetry experiments.

Abstract
The SAMPL series of challenges aim to focus the community on specific modeling challenges, while testing and hopefully driving progress of computational methods to help guide pharmaceutical drug discovery. In this study, we report on the results of the SAMPL8 host–guest blind challenge for predicting absolute binding affinities. SAMPL8 focused on two host–guest datasets, one involving the cucurbituril CB8 (with a series of common drugs of abuse) and another involving two different Gibb deep-cavity cavitands. The latter dataset involved a previously featured deep cavity cavitand (TEMOA) as well as a new variant (TEETOA), both binding to a series of relatively rigid fragment-like guests. Challenge participants employed a reasonably wide variety of methods, though many of these were based on molecular simulations, and predictive accuracy was mixed. As in some previous SAMPL iterations (SAMPL6 and SAMPL7), we found that one approach to achieve greater accuracy was to apply empirical corrections to the binding free energy predictions, taking advantage of prior data on binding to these hosts. Another approach which performed well was a hybrid MD-based approach with reweighting to a force matched QM potential. In the cavitand challenge, an alchemical method using the AMOEBA-polarizable force field achieved the best success with RMSE less than 1 kcal/mol, while another alchemical approach (ATM/GAFF2-AM1BCC/TIP3P/HREM) had RMSE less than 1.75 kcal/mol. The work discussed here also highlights several important lessons; for example, retrospective studies of reference calculations demonstrate the sensitivity of predicted binding free energies to ethyl group sampling and/or guest starting pose, providing guidance to help improve future studies on these systems.

Abstract
Understanding the physical forces underlying receptor-ligand binding requires robust methods for analyzing the binding thermodynamics. In end-point binding free energy methods the binding free energy is naturally decomposable into physically intuitive contributions such as the solvation free energy and configurational entropy that can provide insights. Here we present a new end-point method called EE-BQH (Effective Energy-Boltzmann-Quasiharmonic) which combines the Boltzmann-Quasiharmonic model for configurational entropy with different solvation free energy methods, such as the continuum solvent PBSA model and the integral equation-based 3D-RISM, to estimate the absolute binding free energy. We compare EE-BQH with other treatments of configurational entropy such as Quasiharmonic models in internal coordinates (QHIC) and in Cartesian coordinates (QHCC), and Normal Mode analysis (NMA), by testing them on the octa acids host-guest complexes from the SAMPL8 blind challenge. The accuracies in the calculated absolute binding free energies strongly depend on the configurational entropy and solvation free energy methods used. QHIC and BQH yield the best agreements with the established potential of mean force (PMF) estimates, with R2 of ∼0.7 and mean unsigned error of ∼1.7 kcal mol-1. These results from the end-point calculations are also in similar agreement with experiments. While 3D-RISM in combination with QHIC or BQH lead to reasonable correlations with the PMF results and experiments, the calculated absolute binding free energies are underestimated by ∼5 kcal mol-1. While the binding is accompanied by a significant reduction in the ligand translational/rotational entropy, the change in the torsional entropy in these host-guest systems is slightly positive. Compared with BQH, QHIC underestimates the reduction of configurational entropy because of the non-Gaussian probability distributions in the ligand rotation and a small number of torsions. The study highlights the crucial role of configurational entropy in determining binding and demonstrates the potential of using the new end-point method to provide insights in more complex protein-ligand systems.

Abstract
Umbrella sampling along a one-dimensional order parameter in combination with Hamiltonian replica exchange was employed to calculate the binding free energy of five guest molecules with known affinity to cucurbit[8]uril. A simple empirical approach correcting for the overestimation of the affinity by the GAFF force field was proposed and subsequently applied to the seven guest molecules of the “Drugs of Abuse” SAMPL8 challenge. Compared to the uncorrected binding free energies, the systematic error decreased but quantitative agreement with experiment was only reached for a few compounds. From a retrospective analysis a weak point of the correction term was identified.

Abstract
Describing, understanding, and designing complex interaction networks within macromolecular systems remain challenging in modern chemical research. Host-guest systems, despite their relative simplicity in both the structural feature and interaction patterns, still pose problems in theoretical modeling. The barrel-shaped supramolecular container cucurbit[8]uril (CB8) shows promising functionalities in various areas, e.g., catalysis and molecular recognition. It can stably coordinate a series of structurally diverse guests with high affinities. In this work, we examine the binding of seven commonly abused drugs to the CB8 host, aiming at providing a general picture of CB8-guest binding. Extensive sampling of the configurational space of these host-guest systems is performed, and the binding pathway and interaction patterns of CB8-guest complexes are investigated. A thorough comparison of widely used fixed-charge models for drug-like molecules is presented. Iterative refitting of the atomic charges suggests significant conformation dependence of charge generation. The initial model generated at the original conformation could be inaccurate for new conformations explored during conformational search, and the newly fitted charge set improves the prediction-experiment correlation significantly. Our investigations of the configurational space of CB8-drug complexes suggest that the host-guest interactions are more complex than expected. Despite the structural simplicities of these molecules, the conformational fluctuations of the host and the guest molecules and orientations of functional groups lead to the existence of an ensemble of binding modes. The insights of the binding thermodynamics, performance of fixed-charge models, and binding patterns of the CB8-guest systems are useful for studying and elucidating the binding mechanism of other host-guest complexes.

Abstract
Multifactorial diseases, such as cancer and diabetes present a challenge for the traditional "one-target, one disease" paradigm due to their complex pathogenic mechanisms. Although a combination of drugs can be used, a multitarget drug may be a better choice face of its efficacy, lower adverse effects and lower chance of resistance development. The computer-based design of these multitarget drugs can explore the same techniques used for single-target drug design, but the difficulties associated to the obtention of drugs that are capable of modulating two or more targets with similar efficacy impose new challenges, whose solutions involve the adaptation of known techniques and also to the development of new ones, including machine-learning approaches. In this review, some SBDD and LBDD techniques for the multitarget drug design are discussed, together with some cases where the application of such techniques led to effective multitarget ligands.
