We present the first application of the mining minima algorithm to protein-small molecule binding. This end-point approach use an empirical force field and implicit solvent models, treats the protein binding-site as fully flexible and estimates free energies as sums over local energy wells. The calculations are found to yield encouraging agreement with experiment for three sets of HIV-1protease inhibitors and a set of phosphodiesterase 10a inhibitors. The contributions of various aspects of the ...[more]
