The free energy of restraining the conformation of C8-substituted GTP analogs to a conformational range Inline graphic in water

Inline graphic Inline graphic (kJ mol−1) Inline graphic (kJ mol−1)
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 Inline graphic are calculated from the populations Inline graphic. A comparison of the relative free energies with respect to GTP, Inline graphic, indicates a significant contribution to the total relative binding affinity, Inline graphic (Table 1)
