Linear-scaling soft-core scheme for alchemical free energy calculations
Alchemical free energy calculations involving the removal or insertion of atoms into condensed phase systems generally make use of soft-core scaling of nonbonded interactions, designed to circumvent numerical instabilities that arise from weakly interacting "hard" atoms in close proximity. Current methods model soft-core atoms by introducing a nonlinear dependence between the shape of the inter...
متن کاملPredicting ligand binding affinity with alchemical free energy methods in a polar model binding site.
We present a combined experimental and modeling study of organic ligand molecules binding to a slightly polar engineered cavity site in T4 lysozyme (L99A/M102Q). For modeling, we computed alchemical absolute binding free energies. These were blind tests performed prospectively on 13 diverse, previously untested candidate ligand molecules. We predicted that eight compounds would bind to the cavi...
متن کاملHow To Deal with Multiple Binding Poses in Alchemical Relative Protein–Ligand Binding Free Energy Calculations
Recent advances in improved force fields and sampling methods have made it possible for the accurate calculation of protein–ligand binding free energies. Alchemical free energy perturbation (FEP) using an explicit solvent model is one of the most rigorous methods to calculate relative binding free energies. However, for cases where there are high energy barriers separating the relevant conforma...
متن کاملProtein thermostability calculations using alchemical free energy simulations.
Thermal stability of proteins is crucial for both biotechnological and therapeutic applications. Rational protein engineering therefore frequently aims at increasing thermal stability by introducing stabilizing mutations. The accurate prediction of the thermodynamic consequences caused by mutations, however, is highly challenging as thermal stability changes are caused by alterations in the fre...
متن کاملTowards Automated Binding Affinity Prediction Using an Iterative Linear Interaction Energy Approach
Binding affinity prediction of potential drugs to target and off-target proteins is an essential asset in drug development. These predictions require the calculation of binding free energies. In such calculations, it is a major challenge to properly account for both the dynamic nature of the protein and the possible variety of ligand-binding orientations, while keeping computational costs tract...
