Abstract

Empirical Gibbs functions estimate free energies of non-covalent reactions (deltaG) from atomic coordinates of reaction products (e.g. antibody-antigen complexes). The function previously developed by us has four terms that quantify the effects of hydrophobic, electrostatic and entropy changes (conformational, association) upon complexation. The function was used to calculate delta deltaG of ten lysozyme mutants affecting the stability of the HyHEL-10 antibody-lysozyme complex. The mutants were computer-modeled from the X-ray structure of the wild-type, and free energy calculations produced a correlation coefficient of 0.5 with the experimental delta deltaG data (average absolute error +/-3 kcal). The following changes were then introduced into the Gibbs function: (1) the hydrophobic force was made proportional to the molecular surface, as calculated by the GEPOL93 algorithm, with the scaling constant of 70 cal/mol/A2; (2) calculation of the electrostatics of binding was carried out by the finite difference Poisson-Boltzmann algorithm, which employed uniform grid charging, dielectric boundary smoothing and charge anti-aliasing; and (3) side-chain conformational entropy was estimated from the CONGEN sampling of torsional degrees...Continue Reading
