Absolute hydration free energies of blocked amino acids: implications for protein solvation and stability.
Most proteins perform their function in aqueous solution. The interactions with water determine the stability of proteins and the desolvation costs of ligand binding or membrane insertion. However, because of experimental restrictions, absolute solvation free energies of proteins or amino acids are not available. Instead, solvation free energies are estimated based on side chain analog data. Th...
متن کاملSolvation free energies of amino acid side chain analogs for common molecular mechanics water models.
Quantitative free energy computation involves both using a model that is sufficiently faithful to the experimental system under study (accuracy) and establishing statistically meaningful measures of the uncertainties resulting from finite sampling (precision). In order to examine the accuracy of a range of common water models used for protein simulation for their solute/solvent properties, we c...
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 کاملSolvation Free Energies of Small Amides and Amines from Molecular Dynamics/Free Energy Perturbation Simulations Using Pairwise Additive and Many-Body Polarizable Potentials
Molecular dynamicdfree energy perturbation simulations of several small amides [acetamide (ACT), N-methylacetamide (NMA), and N,N-dimethylacetamide] and amines [NH3, NH2CH3, NH(CH3)2, and N(CH3)3] in aqueous solution were performed to study the effects on solvation free energies arising from N-methylation. Using pairwise additive potentials, a uniform pattern of solvation effects was always obt...
متن کاملConnecting free energy surfaces in implicit and explicit solvent: an efficient method to compute conformational and solvation free energies.
The ability to accurately model solvent effects on free energy surfaces is important for understanding many biophysical processes including protein folding and misfolding, allosteric transitions, and protein–ligand binding. Although all-atom simulations in explicit solvent can provide an accurate model for biomolecules in solution, explicit solvent simulations are hampered by the slow equilibra...
