Single-point mutations in proteins can greatly influence protein stability, binding affinity, protein function or its expression per se. Here, we present accurate and efficient predictions of the free energy of mutation of amino acids. We divided the complete mutational free energy into an uncharging step, which we approximate by a third-power fitting (TPF) approach, and an annihilation step, which we approximate using the one-step perturbation (OSP) method. As a diverse set of test systems, we ...[more]
