Title: Enhancing protein-ligand binding affinity predictions using neural network potentials
Abstract: This letter gives results on improving protein-ligand binding affinity predictions based on molecular dynamics simulations using machine learning potentials with a hybrid neural network potential and molecular mechanics methodology (NNP/MM). We compute relative binding free energies with the Alchemical Transfer Method and validate its performance against established benchmarks and find significant enhancements compared with conventional MM force fields like GAFF2. © 2024 American Chemical Society.
