摘要
An ad hoc method for calculating the entropy of a biomolecular system from the covariance matrix of the atomic fluctuations is analyzed. It is shown that its essential assumption can be eliminated by a quasiharmonic analysis. The computer time required for use of the latter is of the same order as that of the former.
