Table 3.

Summary of the intermolecular binding energetics of human plasma kallikrein complexes with DON and DRP-104 in relation to the reference drug, berotralstat, and phase 3 inhibitor sebetralstat, expressed in kcal/mol with standard deviations. Binding calculations were performed using the MMGBSA method with 200000 frames
