Thermodynamics of Buried Water in Protein Cavities and Revised Algorithms for Introducing Polarizability to Molecular Dynamics Simulations

Free energy calculations for the transfer of a water molecule from the pure liquid to an interior cavity site in a protein are presented. Three different protein cavities, in bovine pancreatic trypsin inhibitor (BPTI), the I106A mutant of lysozyme, and in the I76A mutant of barnase, represent ve...
