I got the BIOPHYSICAL JOURNAL 85 (3): 1787-1804 SEP 2003 and it seems to answer my question related to the presence of an essential Na+ ion in complex with a receptor. Thank you.
My next question was about the presence of an essential water molecule in the binding site. How would one go about inclusion of a very critical water molecule during enthalphy and entropy computations by MM-PSA ?
my best regards,
Jenk

I was wondering if any has succeeded including such essential ions and water molecules in MMPBSA computations. Can anyone please guide me on how this can be done and what outcome can be expected by MMPBSA for a complex system including ions and water molecules?
