Abstract We present a mean-field approach for calculating thermodynamic properties(free energies) of protein–solvent systems. We apply this method to thetumor suppressor protein p53, where we study the stability of itstetramerization domain when subjected to site-directed mutagenesis. Acomparison with experimental results is included.
