Popis The inhibitory potency of four nanomolar diastereomeric inhibitors of HIV-1 protease [1] was studied by molecular dynamics simulations and MM-GBSA/PBSA analysis. As a starting point we used the crystal structures of protease-inhibitor complexes [2, 3]. Having added hydrogens, we surrounded the complexes with a box of explicit water molecules and added counterions to neutralize the box. Using AMBER 7 program package [4], we minimized, heated and equilibrated the system after which we ran 2-nanosecond-long production dynamics. Periodic boundary conditions were used and long-range electrostatics was treated by particle mesh Ewald (PME) technique. An analysis of the molecular dynamical trajectories was performed and their quality assessed. The protease-inhibitor binding energies were calculated with MM-GBSA/PBSA approach. The effect of the length of the simulation, method to calculate solvation energy, and other factors upon the results was determined.
