Abstract excerpt
The stability mutant Tyr-26-->Asp was studied in the Cro protein from bacteriophage lambda using free energy molecular dynamics simulations. The mutant was calculated to be more stable than the wild type by 3.0 +/- 1.7 kcal/mol/monomer, in reasonable agreement with experiment (1.4 kcal/mol/monome...
