I have recently developed a novel method `mutual repulsion' for simulating ligand unbindingfrom receptor. Combined with adiabatic switching,this method can evaluate the free energy change of unbinding. Mutualrepulsion has been applied to the bovine serum retinol-bindingprotein-retinol complex (1HBP). Large changes in amino acid configurationis observed in only three residues at the mouth of the binding site. Thechange in water structure around the ligand, from bulk-phase tohydrophobic hydration, as retinol unbinds, is also described.
我最近开发了一种用于模拟配体从受体上解离的新方法——“相互排斥法”。结合绝热切换,该方法可以评估解离的自由能变化。相互排斥法已应用于牛血清视黄醇结合蛋白 - 视黄醇复合物(1HBP)。仅在结合位点开口处的三个残基中观察到氨基酸构型的巨大变化。文中还描述了随着视黄醇解离,配体周围水结构从体相水变为疏水水合的变化。
