Abstract

Accurate estimation of free energy differences has enormous applications, from understanding a fundamental biochemical process to rational drug design. Statistical mechanics based approaches, such as alchemical free energy calculations, are proven to be highly accurate in calculating the free energy difference between two chemically well-defined states. In this webinar, I will provide an overview of calculating free energy change due to protein mutation using the open-source PMX software and web server. I will also show results from large-scale alchemical calculations of relative and absolute binding free energy for protein-ligand systems. In the end, a brief overview of the ongoing development in PMX will be presented.
