Research Abstract |
In the field of drug discovery, we have employed large-scale first-principles calculations on protein-ligand systems, using our large-scale DFT code. With the detailed studies for the calculation conditions, we have succeeded in calculating the protein-ligand binding energies. We have also performed the fully structural relaxation of protein-ligand complexes using our large-scale DFT code. We have found that the structure of the side chains of the amino acids surrounding the ligand is largely changed. From these results, it seems that the structure of the entire protein, not just the area around the ligand, should be modelled when performing a study on SBDD.
