Table 4.

The protein-ligand binding energy components: potential energies and additive corrections to it. ΔE is the binding potential energy from the MMFF94 force field in vacuum, calculated by the global minima of the protein-ligand complex and the free ligand with energy of the free protein. ΔG ν is the correction due to vibration degrees of freedom calculated with respective configuration integral Z ν (2). ΔG t and ΔG r are corrections due to translational and rotational degrees of freedom calculated with configuration integrals Z t (3) and Z r (4), respectively. Corrections ΔG ν, ΔG t, and ΔG r include both enthalpy and entropy components. ΔG all is the correction for multiple minima accounting; it is calculated as a difference between binding free energy ΔG bind, calculated with multiple minima accounting, and binding free energy, calculated with only the global minima of the complex and the ligand. ΔG exp⁡ is the experimental binding energy calculated from the binding constant.
