AMBER: MM-PBSA calculation

Hi amber community,
 
I want to calculate the binding free energy of a ligand to a protein. Is the following the right way to do this: First, run a MD of
the ligand bound to the protein (i.e. the complex) and then post-process the trajectory with the mm_pbsa.pl (in amber8)
script? Why is default "nmode=0" ? Doesn't one need to calculate the entropy with nmode to get a binding free energy at all?
I am a complete rookie on this subject, so any help is greatly appreciated!

Best wishes,

Martin
