Abstract

Significance: A crucial factor for drug efficacy is not just the binding affinity, but also the mean residence time in the binding pocket, usually quantified by its inverse, k off . This is an important parameter that regulates the time during which the drug is active. Whereas the calculation of the binding affinity is by now routine, the calculation of k off has proven more challenging because the timescales involved far exceed the limits of standard molecular dynamics simulation. We propose a metadynamics-based strategy that allows reaching timescales of seconds, and estimate k off along with unbinding pathways and associated dynamical bottlenecks. The protocol is exemplified for trypsin–benzamidine unbinding. This work is a step towards a more effective computer-based drug design.

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.
