Method for computing protein binding affinity
DOI:10.1002/jcc.20167.png)
Abstract
En 中文
A Monte Carlo method is given to compute the binding affinity of a ligand to a protein. The method involves extending configuration space by a discrete variable indicating whether the ligand is bound to the protein and a special Monte Carlo move, which allows transitions between the unbound and bound states. Provided that an accurate protein structure is given, that the protein-ligand binding site is known, and that an accurate chemical force field together with a continuum solvation model is used, this method provides a quantitative estimate of the free energy of binding.
