Alchemical Free Energy Calculations for Nucleotide Mutations in Protein–DNA Complexes

This paper has recently been published in the Journal of Chemical Theory and Computation. Abstract Nucleotide-sequence-dependent interactions between proteins and DNA are responsible for a wide range of gene regulatory functions. Accurate and generalizable methods to evaluate the strength of protein–DNA binding have long been sought. While numerous computational approaches have been developed, most of them […]
