Predicting ligand-biopolymer binding is crucial for drug discovery. Physics-based free energy calculations, like Molecular Mechanics-Poisson-Boltzmann Surface Area (MM-PBSA) and Linear Interaction Energy (LIE), offer more accurate predictions than empirical methods.

Area of Science:

  • Computational chemistry
  • Medicinal chemistry
  • Molecular recognition

Background:

  • Accurate prediction of ligand-biopolymer binding affinities is essential for drug discovery and molecular recognition.
  • Empirical scoring functions have limitations in quantitative assessment of binding affinities.
  • Physics-based free energy calculations offer greater accuracy and generality.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the principles, advances, and applications of physics-based free energy calculations for predicting binding affinities.
  • To focus on Molecular Mechanics-Poisson-Boltzmann Surface Area (MM-PBSA) and Linear Interaction Energy (LIE) methods and their variants.
  • To discuss the practical application of these methods in drug discovery and optimization.
