Predicting Binding Free Energy Change Caused by Point Mutations with Knowledge-Modified MM/PBSA Method
A new methodology termed Single Amino Acid Mutation based change in Binding free Energy (SAAMBE) was developed to predict the changes of the binding free energy caused by mutations. The method utilizes 3D structures of the corresponding protein-protein complexes and takes advantage of both approaches: sequence- and structure-based methods. The method has two components: a MM/PBSA-based componen...
متن کاملFast and accurate predictions of binding free energies using MM-PBSA and MM-GBSA
In the drug discovery process, accurate methods of computing the affinity of small molecules with a biological target are strongly needed. This is particularly true for molecular docking and virtual screening methods, which use approximated scoring functions and struggle in estimating binding energies in correlation with experimental values. Among the various methods, MM-PBSA and MM-GBSA are em...
متن کاملFree Energy Calculations by the Molecular Mechanics Poisson-Boltzmann Surface Area Method.
Detailed knowledge of how molecules recognize interaction partners and of the conformational preferences of biomacromolecules is pivotal for understanding biochemical processes. Such knowledge also provides the foundation for the design of novel molecules, as undertaken in pharmaceutical research. Computer-based free energy calculations enable a detailed investigation of the energetic factors t...
متن کاملAdvances in binding free energies calculations: QM/MM-based free energy perturbation method for drug design.
Multiple approaches have been devised and evaluated to computationally estimate binding free energies. Results using a recently developed Quantum Mechanics (QM)/Molecular Mechanics (MM) based Free Energy Perturbation (FEP) method suggest that this method has the potential to provide the most accurate estimation of binding affinities to date. The method treats ligands/inhibitors using QM while u...
متن کاملFragment-Based Drug Discovery Using a Multidomain, Parallel MD-MM/PBSA Screening Protocol
We have developed a rigorous computational screening protocol to identify novel fragment-like inhibitors of N(5)-CAIR mutase (PurE), a key enzyme involved in de novo purine synthesis that represents a novel target for the design of antibacterial agents. This computational screening protocol utilizes molecular docking, graphics processing unit (GPU)-accelerated molecular dynamics, and Molecular ...
