For several drug leads obtained by tethering weak binding ligands, the dissociation constant is smaller than the product of those of the individual fragments by a factor named the linking coefficient, E. This favorable contribution is attributed to the entropic gain that is realized when two weak binding ligands are tethered. Here we show a case study where the linking coefficient is strikingly small (E = 2.1 x 10(-3) M(-1)) and its totally entropic nature is demonstrated.

Abstract

For several drug leads obtained by tethering weak binding ligands, the dissociation constant is smaller than the product of those of the individual fragments by a factor named the linking coefficient, E. This favorable contribution is attributed to the entropic gain that is realized when two weak binding ligands are tethered. Here we show a case study where the linking coefficient is strikingly small (E = 2.1 x 10(-3) M(-1)) and its totally entropic nature is demonstrated.
