Electrostatic Binding Free Energy
Energy Decomposition to each BN-BS
residue pair
•Each complex was energy-minimized in AMBER7.0 with AMBER94 ff
•Lennard-Jones interactions were calculated for each BN-BS residue pair
(110 x 89 = 9790)
•Coulomic interactions were calculated for each BN-BS residue pair
(110 x 89 = 9790)
•Desolvation energies of BN and BS were calculated in UHBD6.1
Each complex: 19582 (=9790+9790+2) energy terms
Chemometric Analysis
•Principal Component Analysis (PCA)
