Abstract

We propose to study a new factor in designing new drugs. Most approaches to the drug design problem focus on the direct interactions between the drug and the corresponding target. We propose to study specific solvent-induced effects that can contribute to the binding Gibbs energy between the drug and its target. We estimate that these indirect effects will contribute significantly to the binding affinity and hopefully improve the clinical efficiency of the drugs.
