A highly accurate metadynamics-based Dissociation Free Energy method to calculate protein–protein and protein–ligand binding potencies
Open accessAbstract
Although seeking to develop a general and accurate binding free energy calculation method for protein–protein and protein–ligand interactions has been a continuous effort for decades, only limited successes have been obtained so far. Here, we report the development of a metadynamics-based procedure that calculates Dissociation Free Energy (DFE) and its application to 19 non-congeneric protein–protein complexes and hundreds of protein–ligand complexes covering eight targets. We achieved very high correlations in comparison to experimental binding free energies for these diverse sets of systems, demonstrating the generality and accuracy of the method. Since structures of most proteins are available owing to the recent success of prediction by artificial intelligence, a general free energy method such as DFE, combined with other methods, can make structure-based drug design a widely viable and reliable solution to develop both traditional small molecule drugs and biologic drugs as well as PROTACS.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
