[phenixbb] Estimation of ligand binding affinity by occupancy refinement

[Timothy Springer]

what does this have to do with estimating ligand binding affinity? Does one have to have fairly low occupancy? I have examples where one end of a ligand is much better defined than the other end of the ligand, both ends are in the same pocket. The pocket has to reshape to accomodate high affinity binding. We have modeled complete occupancy, but B factors for example would differ and we go from two conformations in rather diffuse density to excellent density at the one end of the pocket, while at the other end there is always excellent density. It seems magical to convert this type of data to affinity, but if there was a way, I would be interested in trying it.
With my best regards,
Tim
