Abstract

Rapid non-empirical methods for estimating binding free energies are reviewed. A novel approach based on the application of the free energy perturbation formula to a biased ensemble is presented. Preliminary results demonstrating the applicability of this approach in protein systems are shown and the potential of this method in structure-based drug design is discussed.
