Abstract excerpt
Free energy simulation methods are used to analyse the effects of the mutation Arg-96----His on the stability of bacteriophage T4 lysozyme and of Ile-96----Ala on the stability of barnase. By use of thermodynamic integration, the contributions of specific interactions to the free energy change are evaluated. It is shown that a number of contributions that stabilize the wild-type or the mutant partially cancel in...
