We apply the free energy simulations technique to address the problems of
 relative binding free energy of different inhibitors (Tropsha&Hermans,
 Protein
 Engineering, 1992, v.5, p.29-55.  Similar research was done by P. Kollman group
 (J.Med.Chem.,1991,v.34,p.2654-2659.  The role of H-bonds in binding is addressed
 in
 such studies implicitely if the inhibitors differ in an H-bond making group.  I
 will
 be happy to go into further discussion of the approach if you so desire.
 Sincerely,
 Alexander Tropsha, Ph.D.
