Simple, Intuitive Calculations of Free Energy of Binding for Protein−Ligand Complexes. 1. Models without Explicit Constrained Water

The prediction of the binding affinity between a protein and ligands is one of the most challenging issues for computational biochemistry and drug discovery. While the enthalpic contribution to binding is routinely available with molecular mechanics methods, the entropic contribution is more difficu...
