Research Abstract |
In lead optimization for drug development, accurate computational prediction of binding affinity between protein and ligand is so important. So far many computational methods to predict binding affinity have been developed, but no proper comparison has been done yet. In the work, we have evaluated four computational methods (FMO method, QM/MM method, MM-PB/SA method, and MP-CAFEE method)for several proteins (FKBP, CDK2 and ABL). As a result, it is revealed that abilities of prediction of binding free energies are so different for respective proteins. For the problem, it is considered that the improvement of computational methods is necessary.
