Table 3. Results Obtained from the GCMC Titration Analysis of the Both apo- and holo-Ferritin, with and without Constraints on the Protein and Liganda.
structure | sampling | ΔGbind° | optimal N | N(Bequil) |
---|---|---|---|---|
apo | constrained | –90.0 ± 0.8 | 9 | 8.7 ± 0.1 |
apo | unconstrained | –109.2 ± 0.8 | 10 | 10.2 ± 0.2 |
holo | constrained | –63.2 ± 0.4 | 4 | 3.8 ± 0.1 |
holo | unconstrained | –77.4 ± 0.8 | 6 | 6.0 ± 0.2 |
The table shows the value of the binding free energy minimum (ΔGbind° in kJ/mol), along with the corresponding optimal value of N. For comparison, the mean number of waters observed at Bequil is also given (with standard error).
