CD ComputaBio is a cutting-edge provider of computational biology services, including the popular Binding Free Energy (MMGBSA) Analysis Service. This service utilizes a molecular modeling approach, known as MMGBSA, to estimate the binding free energy of protein-ligand complexes. Understanding this energy is essential to drug design as it dictates how strongly a drug molecule will bind to its target, impacting its efficacy and potential side effects. Our binding free energy (MMGBSA) analysis service aims to assist researchers and pharmaceutical companies in developing the most effective and safest drugs possible.
Ligand-Protein Complex Preparation
Binding Mode Analysis
MM-GBSA Calculations
Residue Contribution Analysis
We assist in preparing high-quality ligand-protein complexes for MM-GBSA calculations, ensuring proper orientation and positioning of the ligand within the target binding site.
Our experts conduct rigorous MM-GBSA calculations to predict binding free energies, allowing for the ranking and prioritization of potential drug candidates based on their affinity for the target protein.
We provide detailed insights into the binding modes of ligands, highlighting key interactions, hydrogen bonding patterns, and hydrophobic contacts critical for molecular recognition.
Our service includes analyzing the contributions of individual amino acid residues to the overall binding free energy, enabling the identification of hotspots for rational drug design.
Ensemble-based Sampling Strategies
To account for the inherent flexibility and conformational diversity of biomolecular systems, our algorithm employs ensemble-based sampling strategies. By sampling multiple conformations and configurations, we capture the structural variability within the binding site, leading to more comprehensive estimates of binding free energies.
Parameter Optimization and Validation
Prior to conducting MMGBSA analyses, we rigorously optimize and validate the parameters associated with force fields, solvent models, and sampling techniques. This meticulous approach ensures the reliability and accuracy of our calculations, enabling robust predictions of binding free energies for diverse ligand-receptor systems.
Energy Decomposition Analysis
our algorithm conducts detailed energy decomposition analyses to dissect the individual contributions of various interactions, such as van der Waals forces, electrostatic interactions, hydrogen bonding, and hydrophobic effects. This insight into the underlying molecular forces driving ligand binding facilitates rational design strategies.
