Аннотация:Preparation of the target-protein, particularly the protein protonation method can affect
considerably the spatial arrangement of the attached hydrogen atoms and the charge
state of individual molecular groups in amino acid residues. This means that the calculated
protein-ligand binding energies can vary significantly depending on the method
of the protein preparation, and it also can lead to the different docked positions of the
ligand in the case of docking (positioning of the ligand in the protein active site). This
work investigates the effect of the hydrogen atoms arrangement method in the targetprotein
on the protein-ligand binding energy. All hydrogen atoms of target-protein are fixed
or movable. The comparison of the protein-ligand binding energies obtained for the test set
of target-proteins prepared using six different programs is performed and it is shown that
the protein-ligand binding energy depends significantly on the method of hydrogen atoms
incorporation, and differences can reach 100 kcal/mol. It is also shown that taking into account
solvent in the frame of one of the two continuum implicit models smooths out these
differences, but they are still about 10 - 20 kcal/mol. Moreover, we carried out the docking
of the crystallized (native) ligands from the protein-ligand complexes using the SOL
program and showed that the different methods of the hydrogen atoms addition to the protein
can give significantly different results both for the positioning of the native ligand and
for its protein-ligand binding energy.
