Thomas,
Thanks a lot. Based on the curve of EPTOT vs. time and DENSITY vs.
time, my system looks well equilibrated. Do I have to run production MD
under NVT condition or I still can use NPT for my production run. Is there any
standard such as rmsd for how well the system is equilibrated?
Thanks a lot for help!

I have noted that even small differences in starting geometries
can result in quite different deltaG results from MM-PBSA.
This is probably only more true if you study two similar ligands instead
of two conformations of one ligand.
But still, 40kcal/mol difference sounds like something else is going
on. Are you sure your simulation is well equilibrated? You mentioned that
your crystal structure does not have a ligand bound to it, so maybe the
geometry of the binding site is far from equilibrium with the ligand
bound.

Thomas
