Abstract:Recent advances in relative protein-ligand binding free energy calculations have shown the value of alchemical methods in drug discovery. Accurately assessing absolute binding free energies remains a challenging endeavour, mostly limited to small model cases. We demonstrate accurate absolute binding free energy estimates for 128 pharmaceutically relevant ligands across 7 proteins using a highly parallelizable non-equilibrium method. These calculations also provide detailed physical insight into the structural … Show more
