  • 5 stars5 stars. Stars are a popularity signal and not a quality one, but at this level it is likely that nobody has read this closely except its author, and you would be relying on your own review.

What its author says it does

Copied from the file, not written here

Use when analyzing or predicting drug-target binding kinetics: kon, koff, KD, residence time, SPR data fitting (Langmuir/two-state), ITC thermodynamics, tau-RAMD and funnel metadynamics for unbinding, or kinetic QSAR models.

Binding Kinetics

Purpose

Analyze, predict, and optimize drug-target binding kinetics: on-rates (kon), off-rates (koff), residence time (RT = 1/koff), thermodynamic signatures (ΔH/ΔS), and structure-kinetics relationships (SKR).

When to Use This Skill

  • Analyzing SPR sensorgrams (Biacore/Sierra)
  • Fitting ITC thermograms for ΔH/ΔS/ΔG
  • Computing residence time from MD simulations (τRAMD, metadynamics)
  • Building QSAR models for koff/kon
  • Interpreting kinetic selectivity vs equilibrium selectivity
  • Prioritizing compounds by residence time, not just KD

Key Relationships

# Core kinetic relationships
KD = koff / kon                    # M (equilibrium dissociation constant)
pKD = -log10(KD)                   # analogous to pIC50
RT = 1 / koff                      # seconds (residence time)
t_half = ln(2) / koff              # seconds (half-life of complex)

# Thermodynamics
ΔG = RT_gas * ln(KD)               # kcal/mol (RT_gas = 0.592 at 298K)
ΔG = ΔH - T*ΔS                    # enthalpy-entropy decomposition

# Typical drug ranges
# kon:  10^4 – 10^7 M^-1 s^-1
# koff: 10^-5 – 10^-1 s^-1
# KD:   nM – µM
# RT:   10 s – 10^5 s (hours)
