An MM/PBSA method has been used to investigate the influence of the solvent water molecules at the active site of CDK2 on the binding free energy of CDK2-ligand complexes. The results show that the solvent water molecules at the active site of CDK2 have some contribution to the binding free energy of CDK2-ligand complex. However, the magnitude of contribution depends on the characteristic of the corresponding ligand. The difference of the contribution is mainly due to the different hydrogen bonding interaction network formed among the water molecules, the protein residues and ligand.
