ABSTRACT
|
|
|
| |
|
Predicting absolute protein-ligand binding affinities remains a frontier
challenge in ligand discovery and design. This becomes more difficult when ionic
interactions are involved because of the large opposing solvation and
electrostatic attraction energies. In a blind test, we examined whether
alchemical free-energy calculations could predict binding affinities of 14
charged and 5 neutral compounds previously untested as ligands for a cavity
binding site in cytochrome c peroxidase. In this simplified site, polar and
cationic ligands compete with solvent to interact with a buried aspartate.
Predictions were tested by calorimetry, spectroscopy, and crystallography. Of
the 15 compounds predicted to bind, 13 were experimentally confirmed, while 4
compounds were false negative predictions. Predictions had a root-mean-square
error of 1.95kcal/mol to the experimental affinities, and predicted poses had an
average RMSD of 1.7Å to the crystallographic poses. This test serves as a
benchmark for these thermodynamically rigorous calculations at predicting
binding affinities for charged compounds and gives insights into the existing
sources of error, which are primarily electrostatic interactions inside
proteins. Our experiments also provide a useful set of ionic binding affinities
in a simplified system for testing new affinity prediction methods.
