Applying physics-based scoring to calculate free energies of binding for single amino acid mutations in protein-protein complexes.

Predicting changes in protein binding affinity due to single amino acid mutations helps us better understand the driving forces underlying protein-protein interactions and design improved biotherapeutics. Here, we use the MM-GBSA approach with the OPLS2005 force field and the VSGB2.0 solvent model t...
