Re: AMBER: mm-pbsa multiple trajectory approach?

The energy numbers are what they are - and there will be lots of
statistical noise in them, in my experience.

You can directly import the MM-PBSA output into an spreadsheet quite
easily - and manipulate it from there for the different trajectories.

So, I think it should be very easy to duplicate the single-trajectory
PERL script math this way.

An easy test ought to be to take the tutorial, make three "receptor
only" variants, load those into a spreadsheet and duplicate the math of
the single-shot tutorial.

Again, apologies in advance if I fundamentally do not understand what
you are trying to do.
