Abstract:more rigorous physical model combined with effective sampling of molecular configurations is critical for binding affinity prediction to chemical accuracy, which is defined as within one order of magnitude of the true equilibrium dissociation constant. We have demonstrated that electrostatic interactions, especially electronic polarization, are critical for protein-ligand recognition due to the significant change in electrostatic environments between bulk water and protein pockets and have achieved encouraging… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
