Ligand configurational entropy and protein binding Chia-en A. Chang, Wei Chen, and Michael K. Gilson – PNAS(2007) Presented by Christopher Williams
Remember K*? • Uses conformational entropy of side chains to better predict redesign mutations
What about ligands? • Entropy is lost on binding • How much? • What kind? • Do we care?

Higher Conformational Entropy More Wells Energy Well Higher Vibrational Entropy Wider Well
How to measure entropy • S = k ln(W) • k = Boltzman constant • W = Multiplicity j
The test case • Amprenavir, an HIV protease inhibitor
Results • Configurational entropy loss on binding: 26.4 kcal/mol • # of accessible conformations in solution: 960 • # of accessible conformations bound: 1 • ΔS = RT ln(960) • Conformational entropy contribution: 4.1 kcal/mol
Results • Configuational entropy loss on binding: 26.4 kcal/mol • Entropy loss: torsion only: 12.2 kcal/mol • Entropy loss: rotation/translation only: 15.7 kcal/mol • 12.2 + 15.7 = 27.9 != 26.7 kcal/mol
Configurational Entropy Conformational Entropy Vibrational Entropy Rotation/ Translation Torsion Angle Bending There is correlation among the “separate” components of configurational entropy Bond Stretching
Proof? • Similar results were returned by a separate analysis • “Quasiharmonic analysis” – essentially an MD approach • Compare 11.6 kcal/ mol to 12.3 kcal/mol • Cannot test in wetleb • Cannot yet measure separate components of entropy
Predictions and Observations • Configurational entropy has a similar magnitude effect to electrostatics or hydrophobics ~25 kcal/mol • Does not include protein • Varies by ligand • Varies by tightness of binding
Predictions and Observations • Vibrational entropy loss dominates • Not conformational/rotamer loss • This challenges conventional thinking • Certain atom centers are more prone to vibrational entropy • sp3 versus ring structures
Applications to design • Optimizing drugs • Entropy loss inhibits binding • Rigid ligands have less entropy to lose
Applications to design • Improving Scoring Functions • Current functions overweight conformational entropy, underweight vibrational • Varies by ligand
Applications to design • Computational savings • Vibrational entropy dominates • May not have to enumerate every minumum
