Escorted free energy simulations.
We describe a strategy to improve the efficiency of free energy estimates by reducing dissipation in nonequilibrium Monte Carlo simulations. This strategy generalizes the targeted free energy perturbation approach [C. Jarzynski, Phys. Rev. E 65, 046122 (2002)] to nonequilibrium switching simulations, and involves generating artificial, "escorted" trajectories by coupling the evolution of the sy...
متن کاملHit identification and binding mode predictions by rigorous free energy simulations.
The identification of lead molecules using computational modeling often relies on approximate, high-throughput approaches, of limited accuracy. We show here that, with a methodology we recently developed, it is possible to predict the relative binding free energies of structurally diverse ligands of the estrogen receptor-alpha using a rigorous statistical thermodynamics approach. Predictions ob...
متن کاملRigorous Free Energy Calculations in Structure-Based Drug Design.
Structure-based drug design could benefit greatly from computational methodologies that accurately predict the binding affinity of small compounds to target biomolecules. However, the current scoring functions used to rank compounds in virtual screens by docking are not sufficiently accurate to guide reliably the design of tight binding ligands. Thus, there is strong interest in methodologies b...
متن کاملRigorous Entropy - Energy Arguments
One of the most appealing heuristic devices for unders tanding when a phase transition will take place is to consider the balance of energy versus entropy. Probably the simplest example is the well-known (9'27) heuristic a rgument for the absence of phase transitions in one-dimensional systems with short-range forces: Suppose that there were two distinct phases with the same bulk free energy. T...
متن کاملFree Energy-Based Virtual Screening and Optimization of RNase H Inhibitors of HIV-1 Reverse Transcriptase
We report the results of a binding free energy-based virtual screening campaign of a library of 77 α-hydroxytropolone derivatives against the challenging RNase H active site of the reverse transcriptase (RT) enzyme of human immunodeficiency virus-1. Multiple protonation states, rotamer states, and binding modalities of each compound were individually evaluated. The work involved more than 300 i...
