Abstract excerpt
Drug resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which mostly results from single nucleotide polymorphisms in antibiotic target genes, poses a major threat to tuberculosis treatment outcomes. Relative binding free energy (RBFE) calculations can rapidly predict the effects of mutations, but this approach has not been tested on large, complex proteins. We use RBFE calculations to predict the effects of M. tuberculosis...
