Inhibitor ranking through QM based chelation calculations for virtual screening of HIV-1 RNase H inhibition.

Quantum mechanical (QM) calculations have been used to predict the binding affinity of a set of ligands towards HIV-1 RT associated RNase H (RNH). The QM based chelation calculations show improved binding affinity prediction for the inhibitors compared to using an empirical scoring function. Further...
