Consistent Calculations of pKa's of Ionizable Residues in Proteins: Semi-microscopic and Microscopic Approaches

TL;DR: In this paper, the pKa's of ionizable groups in proteins are calculated using the semi-microscopic version of the protein dipoles Langevin dipoles (PDLD) model, which treats the protein relaxation in the microscopic framework of the linear response approximation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Examining methods for calculations of binding free energies: LRA, LIE, PDLD‐LRA, and PDLD/S‐LRA calculations of ligands binding to an HIV protease

TL;DR: It is found in the present case that the contribution from the non‐polar states to the protein‐ligand binding energy is rather small, but it is clearly expected that this term is not negligible in cases where the protein provides preorganized environment to stabilize the residual charges of the ligand.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structured disorder and conformational selection.

TL;DR: It is proposed that engineering‐optimized specific electrostatic interactions to avoid electrostatic repulsion would reduce the type I disordered state, driving the molten globule → native (N) state, leading to the denatured → MG → N state.
Journal ArticleDOI

The effect of protein relaxation on charge-charge interactions and dielectric constants of proteins

TL;DR: An explicit consideration of the protein relaxation leads to a significant increase in epsilon(eff) and that semimicroscopic models that do not take this relaxation into account force one to use a large value for the so-called "protein dielectric constant" of the Poisson-Boltzmann model.
