Abstract excerpt
Understanding the factors determining the binding of ligands to receptors in detail is essential for rational drug design. Here, the free energies of binding of the steroids progesterone (PRG) and 5β-androstane-3,17-dione (5AD) to the Diels-Alderase antibody 1E9, as well as the Leu(H47)Trp/Arg(H100)Trp 1E9 double mutant (1E9dm) and the corresponding single mutants, have been estimated and decomposed using the...
