Table 4 The binding free energy (ΔGb) terms of the THD-CYP complexes calculated with the MM-PBSA method (mean ± sd; kcal/mol): Van Der Waals (ΔEvdW), electrostatic (ΔEelect), solvation (ΔEsolv), and solvent accessible surface area (ΔEsasa).

From: In vitro assays identified thiohydantoins with anti-trypanosomatid activity and molecular modelling studies indicated possible selective CYP51 inhibition
