Two computational protocols have been evaluated regarding their ability to
reproduce the enthalpic part of lipase enantioselectivity by forcefield
potential energy differences (deltaV#R-S). Though the shortcomings of the
approach are numerous, good qualitative results have been obtained here and
elsewhere. The anticipated improvement of quantitative results by use of a
second protocol, which did not impose any atom movement restrictions on the
total system, was realized only in part. Seemingly, results depended not
only on the design of the computational procedure but also on the
enzyme-substrate combination modelled. With Candida antarctica lipase B,
results diverged significantly more from an estimated deltadeltaH#R-S than
with Rhizomucor miehei lipase and cutinase.
