Alchemical free energy methods are useful in computer-aided drug design and computational protein design because they provide rigorous statistical mechanics-based estimates of free energy differences from molecular dynamics simulations. λ dynamics is a free energy method with the ability to characterize combinatorial chemical spaces spanning thousands of related systems within a single simulation, which gives it a distinct advantage over other alchemical free energy methods that are mostly limited to pairwise comparisons. Recently developed methods have improved the scalability of λ dynamics to perturbations at many sites; however, the size of chemical space that can be explored at each individual site has previously been limited to fewer than ten substituents. As the number of substituents increases, the volume of alchemical space corresponding to nonphysical alchemical intermediates grows exponentially relative to the size corresponding to the physical states of interest. Beyond nine substituents, λ dynamics simulations become lost in an alchemical morass of intermediate states. In this work, we introduce new biasing potentials that circumvent excessive sampling of intermediate states by favoring sampling of physical end points relative to alchemical intermediates. Additionally, we present a more scalable adaptive landscape flattening algorithm for these larger alchemical spaces. Finally, we show that this potential enables more efficient sampling in both protein and drug design test systems with up to 24 substituents per site, enabling, for the first time, simultaneous simulation of all 20 amino acids.
