Dear amber users, I would appreciate if someone could give a tip or to point some reference on how to use amber in my problem. I tested two very similar compounds against a protein and one of then is 500-fold more potent than the other. I guess that the diference is caused mainly due to a charge stabilization of a deprotonate cystein through the interaction with a diene fragment, which is replaced by a saturated fragment in the less potent compound. 1-How could I verify this hypothesis? 2-When I use MM, is this kind of effect is taken into account? Thanks in advance Josmar Rocha ____________________________________________________________________________________ Veja quais são os assuntos do momento no Yahoo! +Buscados http://br.maisbuscados.yahoo.com
