| Abstract: | The conformational preference of the gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) and its Lys-8 mutant, studied earlier with a continuum model, was revisited using an explicit solvent model and thermodynamic integration to calculate the solvents contribution to the conformation-dependence of its free energy. In addition, the Proximity Criterion was used to further analyze the effects of conformational changes. |
