The binding of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) to the ion channel transient receptor potential vanilloid 5 (TRPV5) is critical for its function. We use atomically detailed simulations and the milestoning theory to compute the free energy profile and the kinetics of PIP2 binding to TRPV5. We estimate the rate of binding and the impact of the protonation state on the process. Several channel residues are identified as influential in the association event and will be interesting targets for mutation analysis. Our simulations reveal that PIP2 binds to TRPV5 in an unprotonated state and is protonated in the membrane. The switch between the protonation state of PIP2 is modeled as a diabatic transition and occurs about halfway through the reaction.
