## Abstract The constants of binding of five peptide analogs to the active site of the HIV‐1 aspartic‐protease are calculated based on a novel sampling scheme that is efficient and does not introduce any approximations in addition to the energy function used to describe the system. The results agre

Recognition of Ras by its downstream target Raf is mediated by a Rasrecognition region in the Ras-binding domain (RBD) of Raf. Residues 78-89 in this region occupy two different conformations in the ensemble of NMR solution structures of the RBD: a fully ␣-helical one, and one where 87-90 form a typ
## Abstract This study examines the contribution of electrostatic and polarization to the interaction energy in a variety of molecular complexes. The results obtained from the Kitaura–Morokuma (KM) energy decomposition analysis at the HF/6‐31G(d) level indicate that, for intermolecular distances ar
Recently a semiempirical method has been proposed by A ˚qvist et al. to calculate absolute and relative binding free energies. In this method, the absolute binding free energy of a ligand is estimated as , where V bound el and V bound vdw are the electrostatic and van der Waals interaction energie
## Abstract Complexes of two Cyanovirin‐N (CVN) mutants, m4‐CVN and P51G‐m4‐CVN, with deoxy di‐mannose analogs were employed as models to generate conformational ensembles using explicit water Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations in solution and in crystal environment. The results were utilized for
