Considering Gaussian work distributionsfrom both numerical and molecular dynamics simulations of biomolecules, we illustrate the striking inaccuracyof the ∆FJ estimator. Our results are consistent with recent findings that highlight theexponential increase in the number of trials needed to converge the ∆FJ estimator with anincrease variance of the work distribution, or the dissipated work.We conclude that the maximum-likelihood free energy estimator ∆FFD, though both accurate and efficient, is currentlyunder-appreciated in routine free energy calculations in simulations of biomolecules.P { margin-bottom: 0.08in; direction: ltr; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); widows: 2; orphans: 2; }P.western { font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 10pt; }P.cjk { font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 10pt; }P.ctl { font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 10pt; }A:visited { color: rgb(128, 0, 128); }A.western:visited { }A.cjk:visited { }A.ctl:visited { }A:link { color: r
