Ray and other interested,
My system contains a protein bound a to a ligand solvated in water.
The protein is about 100 aa res. The watbox is 8 A layer containing
about 20 000 WATs.
FEP & Charges:
One more question: when perturbing (using dielectric coupling) a charged
side chain to an uncharged e.g. ASP to ALA and doing this for a
complexed and uncomplexed state (in order to make the thermodynamic
cycle complete) my ddG for the FEP is about 130 kcal/mol. (a difference
of a few kcal/mol would be expected). The unpert system is neutral, the
perturbed system is not. Can someone tell me how I can "account" for the
charge in the conversion step?
Thanks in advance!
