1. Relative Binding Free Energies (ΔΔG RBFE) Calculated for the Forward (CHT → CBA) and Backward (CBA → CHT) Transformations in Both Radical and Non-Radical Systems .
| Cys489 | transformation | ΔΔG RBFE (kcal mol–1) |
|---|---|---|
| radical | CHT → CBA | –1.4 ± 0.4 |
| CBA → CHT | 1.9 ± 0.4 | |
| nonradical | CHT → CBA | 0.3 ± 0.6 |
| CBA → CHT | 1.1 ± 0.4 |
Results reflect the differences in binding affinities between the two states. Refer to Figures S11–S18 for the overlap matrices and time convergence analysis.
