Hi,
We are interested in methods in efficient, accurate estimation of relative ligand binding free energies that quickly rank/priorities compounds in congeneric series such as in a lead optimization paradigm in drug discovery. One example of such techniques is the L-dynamics method that can evaluate multiple ligands simultaneously from a single MD run. It is currently implemented in CHARMM. Here is a reference to most recent work from Dr. Brooks' lab at the University of Michigan:
Knight JL, Brooks CL, III. Multisite ë Dynamics for Simulated Structure-Activity Relationship Studies. J. Chem. Theo. Comput. 2011;7(9):2728-39
Has anyone ported L-dynamics to AMBER or know of similar code for the AMBER platform?
Please let me know if you have any information or are interested. Thank you!
