Popis: A subsystem analysis is derived incorporating interfragment interactions into the fragment properties, such as energies or charges. The relative stabilities of three alanine isomers, the α-helix, the β-turn, and the extended form are studied and the differences in fragment properties are elucidated. The analysis is further elaborated for studies of binding energies. The binding of the Trp-cage protein (PDB: 1L2Y ) to two ligands is studied in detail. Binding energies defined for each fragment can be used as a convenient descriptor for analyzing contributions to binding in solution.
