Description
Aurora utilizes principles of quantum mechanics and thermodynamics alongside a sophisticated continuous water model to assess the solvation effects on ligand binding affinities. This methodology is significantly different from the traditional scoring functions typically employed for predicting binding affinities. By integrating entropy and aqueous electrostatic contributions directly into the computations, Aurora's algorithms yield far more precise and reliable binding free energy values. The interaction between a ligand and a protein is fundamentally defined by the binding free energy value. This free energy (F) serves as a thermodynamic measure that correlates directly with the experimentally determined inhibition constant (IC50), influenced by factors such as electrostatic interactions, quantum effects, aqueous solvation forces, and the statistical characteristics of the molecules involved. Non-additivity in F arises primarily from two key components: the electrostatic and solvation energy, and the entropy, which together contribute to the complexity of ligand-protein interactions. Understanding these contributions is essential for the accurate prediction of binding affinities in drug design and molecular biology.
Description
BIOVIA TURBOMOLE is an advanced software package for quantum chemistry that specializes in ab initio electronic structure calculations for a variety of systems, including molecules, clusters, periodic structures, and solutions. Originally developed at the University of Karlsruhe and Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe GmbH, the package is currently managed by TURBOMOLE GmbH, which has expanded its capabilities to include a wide range of computational methods such as density functional theory (DFT), Møller–Plesset perturbation theory, coupled-cluster techniques, and GW-Bethe–Salpeter approaches. It stands out for its ability to provide precise predictions related to chemical reactions, spectroscopy, and simulations of optical devices. Key features include optimization of reaction pathways, searches for transition states, and the modeling of solvation effects through COSMO-RS. Additionally, its spectroscopic tools cover various techniques such as IR, Raman, VCD, UV-Vis, and vibronic spectra, while simulations of optical properties are enhanced by sophisticated methods for spin-orbit coupling and relativistic all-electron calculations. This powerful software thus serves as an essential resource for researchers aiming to explore complex chemical systems and their properties.
