  • N.A., not applicable.

  • a Fold differences of free energy of binding for ABT with either another molecule of ABT, (S)-warfarin, or diclofenac were based on ABT alone. A free energy of binding difference of 1.36 kcal/mol is equal to a 10-fold difference. A negative fold difference indicates a decrease in the fold difference.

  • b R(X-Fe) = closest atom to the heme.

  • c Coanalyte includes ABT, (S)-warfarin, or diclofenac, depending on the docking combination.
