Abstract excerpt
The mammalian spliceosomal protein U1A binds a hairpin RNA with picomolar affinity. To examine the origin of this binding specificity, we carried out computational mutagenesis on protein and RNA residues in the U1A-RNA binding interface. Our computational mutagenesis methods calculate the relative binding affinity between mutant and wild-type as the sum of molecular mechanical energies and solvation free energies...
