Abstract excerpt
A computational model of the non-nucleoside inhibitor 8-Cl TIBO complexed with HIV-1 reverse transcriptase (RT) was constructed in order to determine the binding free energies. Using Monte Carlo simulations, both free energy perturbation and linear response calculations were carried out for the transformation of wild-type RT to two key mutants, Y181C and L100I. The newer linear response method estimates binding...
