Can we predict small-molecules binding affinities?

In a recent post, Derek Lowe, from “In The Pipeline”, asks his readership “If we could just walk right up and calculate the free energies of binding events reliably, what would you most want such calculations to be able to do for you? What would convince you that they’re actually believable? And how close to you think that we actually are to that?” We tried to briefly answer some of these questions. How close are we to predict small molecules binding free energy?

Binders Vs. Non-Binders – the Specificity Prediction Problem.

About a month ago Yose Widjaja posted a question to the pdb-l mailing list:

” Suppose you have two pdb files of two proteins you suspect interact with each other. What existing approaches exist out there that can tell you whether these two proteins interact, based on the structural information alone? “
