I use DFT and also HF,too.There exits the repulsive reaction between them,
while force field can not show this repulsive reaction.
I just calculate the binding energy between protein and drug.
I'm going to do a systemic study on this to show the E = E(R) profile.
I just wanna to ask whether it may be a problem of Amber force field
according to other users' experience, and whether it is a good project
otherwise it will waste my time.
Thank for anyone's suggestion.
