Free energy perturbation methods using molecular dynamics have been used to calculate the absolute free energy of association of two ligand-protein complexes. The calculations reproduce the significantly more negative free energy of association of biotin to streptavidin, compared to N-L-acetyltryptophanamide/alpha-chymotrypsin. This difference in free energy of association is due to van der Waals/dispersion effects in the nearly ideally performed cavity that streptavidin presents to biotin, which involves four tryptophan residues.
