Table 5 The binding free energy (ΔGbind) terms of the LaARG-ligand complexes, considering the allosteric site, calculated for 4h, 7g, and 7k with the MM-PBSA method (mean ± standard deviation energies; kcal/mol): van der Waals (ΔEvdW), electrostatic (ΔEelect), solvation (ΔEsolv), and solvent accessible surface area (ΔEsasa).
