Recognition ligand

Ligand recognition in the opioid receptors by modeling methods and design of opioids 98YZ1. 

One of the features of coordination chemistry which we try to explain is the preference of certain metal ions for certain ligand types. In this section, we briefly discuss the models which have been developed to rationalize observed patterns of ligand recognition. We preface our discussion by noting, however, that the models...

Continuum models are being increasingly used to study protein-ligand recognition [115]. Most studies have considered series of similar ligands or protein mutants and focussed on binding free energy differences. This leads to partial cancelation of some troublesome contributions, especially rotational/translation/vibrational entropy...
