AMBER: why not minimize snapshots before MM/PBSA calculations

Dear AMBER Users:

If there's only one snapshot when performing MM/PBSA calculation for the
binding free energy, I think it's necessary to minimize the structure to
local minimum to obtain the lowest energy. However, when there's a MD
trajectory for one to evaluate the binding free energy, no
energy-minimization will be performed for MM,GB, and PB calculations. My
question is, why not minimize the snapshots until convergence before
MM,GB,PB,NM calculations? Thanks in advance!

Best Regards!

Liu
