| 20080312840 | Method for Affinity Scoring of Peptide/Protein Complexes - The present invention is related to a quantitative structure-based affinity scoring method for peptide/protein complexes. More specifically, the present invention comprises a method that operates on the basis of a highly specific force field function (e.g. CHARMM) that is applied to all-atom structural representations of peptide/receptor complexes. Peptide side-chain contributions to total affinity are scored after detailed rotameric sampling followed by controlled energy refinement. The method of the invention further comprises a de novo approach to estimate dehydration energies from the simulation of individual amino acids in a solvent box filled with explicit water molecules and applying the same force field function as used to evaluate peptide/receptor complex interactions. | 12-18-2008 |
