Difference in Binding Free Energy of Ca2+ Calculated from Nonequilibrium Molecular Simulations and from the Experiments at pH = 7.4.

holoCaM-Ng13–49 holoCaM-CaMKII
ΔΔGCI (kcal/mol) Site III 9.2 ± 2.2 −2.5
Site IV 22.4 ± 0.9 −1.7
ΔΔGexp (kcal/mol) Site III/IV 2.5 −3.3

The CI extrapolation was used in the calculation of binding free energy of Ca2+ ΔΔGCI from the simulations. The averaged value of ΔΔG statistical errors from the four conformations of the holoCaM-Ng13–49 complex are provided. The experimental binding free energy ΔΔGexp for holoCaM-Ng13–49 was from literature (30) and the experimental values of the holoCaM-CaMKII were from (14).
