Abstract:
Relative binding free energy (RBFE) calculations are widely used to aid the process of drug discovery. TIES, Thermodynamic Integration with Enhanced Sampling, is a dual-topology approach to RBFE calculations with support for NAMD and OpenMM molecular dynamics engines. The software has been thoroughly validated on publicly available datasets. Here we describe the open source software along with a web portal (https://ccs-ties.org) that enables users to perform such calculations correctly and rapidly.

Ligand Binding Sites
Protein-ligand interactions are quite specific; even though numerous potential ligands surround a cellular protein at any given time, only a particular ligand can bind to that protein. Moreover, a ligand binds only to a dedicated area on the surface of the protein, known as the...
