Using binding free energy to guide ligand design

Chemical Physics 2007-05-23 v1 Computational Physics

Abstract

The molecular distributions obtained from canonical Monte Carlo simulations can be used to find an approximate interaction energy. This serves as the basis of a method for estimating the binding free energy for a ligand to a protein which enables the free energy to be used to direct the design of ligands which bind to a protein with high affinity.
