Abstract excerpt
Here, we show that alchemical free energy calculations can quantitatively compute the effect of mutations at the protein-protein interface. As a test case, we have used the protein complex formed by the small Rho-GTPase CDC42 and its downstream effector PAK1, a serine/threonine kinase. Notably, the CDC42/PAK1 complex offers a wealth of structural, mutagenesis, and binding affinity data because of its central role...
