Structural and functional consequences of single mutations at the high affinity binding site of cyanovirin-N

This thesis focuses mainly on the consequences that single mutations have on structural, functional and energetic aspects of the protein cyanovirin-N. In order to estimate the free energy of single mutations, we have applied thermodynamics integration and Bennett acceptance ratio techniques. Replica...
