Abstract

Abstract : The goal of the proposal was to develop rapid computational methods for the accurate calculation of conformational free energies, binding free energies and solvation free energies of biomolecules. This was accomplished through (a) the development of an accurate parameter set for the calculation of solvation free energies, (b) the design of a new method to carry out high level quantum mechanical calculations in different solvent/macromolecule environments, (c) the design of a new method to calculate alkane/water partition coefficients, and (d) the development of a general quantum mechanical/continuum method to calculate solvation free energies. The availability of simple physical models to calculate solvent effects on stability should provide a firm physical basis for the design of new proteins and biomimetics with desired solubilities and stabilities in different environments.
