Conformational Variability: Implications for Biomolecular Activity and in Drug Design

Formation of a protein-ligand complex is opposed by the loss of rotational, translational and conformational degrees of freedom, but if the ligand binds in a conformation that does not corresponds to the global minimum, an energetic penalty should also be expected. Although it is well known that the...
