Dear Amber community,
I have been currently working on binding energetics of
copper ions in complex with a protein using the
following simple equation
Delta G (binding) = Abs G (complex) - Abs G
(protein/receptor) - Abs G copper (ion/ligand).
I have done several explicit solvent simulations for
the receptor and computed its Abs G in MM-PBSA. I am
about to carry out the same procedure for the complex
as well.
My question here is about the copper ion.
How do I get an Abs G value for the copper ion?
Is it obtained from empirical literature values or is
it just that I run another explicit solvent simulation
for the copper ion alone and compute its energy in
MM-PBSA? Is the letter case doable in AMBER 8?
thanks,
jenk.
