How does a small molecule bind at a cryptic binding site? by Yibing Shan, Venkatesh P Mysore, Abba E Leffler, Eric T Kim, Shiori Sagawa, David E Shaw

“…Moreover, free energy perturbation (FEP) calculations successfully distinguished between the native and non-native IL2-small-molecule binding poses found in the simulations, suggesting that binding simulations in combination with FEP may provide an effective tool for identifying cryptic binding sites and determining the binding poses of small molecules designed to disrupt PPI interfaces by binding to such sites.…”
