1. On the estimation of ligand binding affinities
Abstract : A method to accurately estimate the binding affinity of a small molecule to a receptor would be indispensable in numerous fields. For instance, most drugs exert their action by binding to a macromolecule target. Thus, a lot of time and resources could be saved in drug design by predicting affinities by computer programs.

2. Assessment of Computational Methods for Ligand Binding
Abstract : Most drugs act on biomacromolecules. The Cost of developing new drugs is very high. A method to accurately predict binding affinities would be very useful. READ MORE

3. QM/MM free-energy perturbation and other methods to estimate ligand-binding affinities
Abstract : Experimental drug discovery is very time-consuming, risky and comes at a huge cost, typically several billion USD per drug. Even though decades of experimental drug discovery have provided cures of many diseases, there are still diseases for which there is no effective drug available. READ MORE

4. Understanding molecular mechanisms of protein tyrosine kinases by molecular dynamics and free energy calculations
Abstract : Background: Insulin receptor kinase (IRK) and Insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor kinase (IGF-1RK) are two important members in the large class of tyrosine kinase receptors. They play pivotalroles in the regulation of glucose homeostasis, cell proliferation, differentiation, motility, andtransformation. READ MORE

5. Computational Studies of Structures and Binding Properties of Protein-Ligand Complexes
Abstract : Proteins are dynamic structural entities that are involved in many biophysical processes through molecular interactions with their ligands. Protein-ligand interactions are of fundamental importance for computer-aided drug discovery. READ MORE
