Do explicit solvent models make differences in predictions of protein-ligand binding affinity?
Zhaoxi Sun
Sometimes differences exist.
For docking-like computational techniques normally the implicit solvent is used.
For MD-based methods the explicit solvent is preferred.
For different types of explicit solvent model, the affinity obtained should differ but not much. The magnitude of difference is system-dependent.
