Abstract:
We develop a new method for calculating the hydration free energy (HFE) of a protein with any net charge. The polar part of the energetic component in the HFE is expressed as a linear combination of four geometric measures (GMs) of the protein structure and the generalized Born (GB) energy plus a constant. The other constituents in the HFE are expressed as linear combinations of the four GMs. The coefficients (including the constant) in the linear combinations are determined using the three‐dimensional reference interaction site model (3D‐RISM) theory applied to sufficiently many protein structures. Once the coefficients are determined, the HFE and its constituents of any other protein structure are obtained simply by calculating the four GMs and GB energy. Our method and the 3D‐RISM theory give perfectly correlated results. Nevertheless, the computation time required in our method is over four orders of magnitude shorter.
Keywords:protein  hydration free energy  integral equation theory  morphometric approach  generalized Born energy
