Abstract excerpt
The molecular mechanics Poisson-Boltzmann surface area (MM-PBSA) method combined with alanine-scanning mutagenesis is a very important tool for rational drug design. In this study, molecular dynamics (MD) and MM-PBSA were applied to calculate the binding free energy between the rat intestinal fatty acid binding protein (IFABP) and palmitic acid (PA) to gain insight to the interaction details. Equally spaced...
