title: Prediction of the potency of inhibitors of adenosine deaminase by QM/MM calculations.
abstract: QM/MM calculations show that the potency of a range of inhibitors of adenosine deaminase correlates with the relative stability of the reaction intermediate at the active site, rather than with the inhibitor binding energy.
