Abstract
AbstractContemporary efforts for empirically-unbiased modeling of protein-ligand interactions entail a painful tradeoff – as reliable information on both noncovalent binding factors and the dynamic behavior of a protein-ligand complex is often beyond practical limits. We demonstrate that information drawn exclusively from static molecular structures can be used for reproducing and predicting experimentally-measured binding affinities for protein-ligand complexes. In particular, inhibition constants (Ki) were calculated for seven different competitive inhibitors of Torpedo californica acetylcholinesterase using a multiple-linear-regression-based model. The latter, incorporating five independent variables – drawn from QM cluster, DLPNO-CCSD(T) calculations and LED analyses on the seven complexes, each containing active amino-acid residues found within interacting distance (3.5 Å) from the corresponding ligand – is shown to recover 99.9% of the sum of squares for measured Ki values, while having no statistically-significant residual errors. Despite being fitted to a small number of data points, leave-one-out cross-validation statistics suggest that it possesses surprising predictive value (Q2LOO=0.78, or 0.91 upon removal of a single outlier). This thus challenges ligand-invariant definitions of active sites, such as implied in the lock-key binding theory, as well as in alternatives highlighting shape-complementarity without taking electronic effects into account. Broader implications of the current work are discussed in dedicated appendices.
