Free-energy perturbation (FEP)

Compute relative binding-free-energy differences between two ligands. The gold-standard quantitative step in lead optimisation — ranks closely related candidates without re-running docking.

The same circuit shape and ranking are produced by qlro.recommend_workload("industry.pharma.free_energy_perturbation") in the Python SDK — useful if you want to automate this in CI / CD.
