Contribution of conformer focusing to the uncertainty in predicting free energies for protein− ligand binding

J Tirado-Rives, WL Jorgensen - Journal of medicinal chemistry, 2006 - ACS Publications
When a ligand binds to a protein, it is typically not in the lowest-energy conformation for the
unbound ligand and there is also a loss of conformational degrees of freedom. The free …
