|---|---|---|---|
| GTP | 50% | 1.7 | 0.0 |
| 8-F-GTP | 48% | 1.8 | 0.1 |
| 8-Cl-GTP | 18% | 4.2 | 2.5 |
| 8-Br-GTP | 3.3% | 8.4 | 6.7 |
| 8-CH3-GTP | 4.0% | 8.0 | 6.2 |
The free energy values
are calculated from the populations
. A comparison of the relative free energies with respect to GTP,
, indicates a significant contribution to the total relative binding affinity,
