Re: AMBER: Potential of mean force, how to calculate rate of dissociation?

hi,
you should first perform an umbrella sampling simulation, to slowly
eject your ligand from its binding site. Look at the manual for the
distance restrained MD. Then you have to post-process the
ligand-receptor distances with the WHAM procedure for example to get the
PMF.
This quite a difficult task to do, and the simulations have to be rather
long to get a correct sampling of the distance in each US window.
Good luck
Jerome
