Dear amber users,
I have done simulation of complex PPI dendrimer - 4th generation which is
decorated with maltose (whole this molecule is electrically neutral)
with single strand DNA (25 bases, with charge -24) in salt explicit water
(ionic strength - 0.15M)- please see the illustrative picture.
The total length of the simulation was 11 ns (4 ns NPT + 7 ns NVT,
T=310K). Below you can find all "in" files.
For the parametrisation I used these forcefields - ff99SB (DNA), gaff
(PPI), glycam (maltose).
Than I made mm_PBSA energetical analysis using the last 2.5 ns (I took 50
frames in 0.1 ns interval).
Here are the final results:
One trajectory approach:
dG = dH - dS = -53.67 - (-74.53) = 20.86
Three trajectories approach:
dG = dH - dS = -15.27 - (-78.67) = 63.4
Maybe it is worth to notice that to speed up the NN analysis I used
separate parallel sander minimisation (conj-grad) using input file
generated
by mm_pbsa routine:

----------------------------------------------
I am really not sure how to interpret above reported results, I am not
sure if they are even reliable ...
I would be really grateful for any comments to this strange results.
It is worth to play with some mm_pbsa parameters (to obtain lower dH
contribution and so less positive dG ?)
or should I try to repeat all the analysis with NAB instead of mm_PBSA
routine ?
Thank you very much in advance for any ideas !
With the best regards
Marek

#
# PB parameters (this section is only relevant if PB = 1 above)
#
# The following parameters are passed to the PB solver.
# Additional input parameters may also be added here. See the sander PB
# documentation for more options.
#
# PROC - Determines which method is used for solving the PB equation:
# By default, PROC = 2, the pbsa program of the AMBER suite is
used.
# REFE - Determines which reference state is taken for PB calc:
# By default, REFE = 0, reaction field energy is calculated with
# EXDI/INDI. Here, INDI must agree with DIELC from MM part.
# INDI - Dielectric constant for the solute.
# EXDI - Dielectric constant for the surrounding solvent.
# ISTRNG - Ionic strength (in mM) for the Poisson-Boltzmann solvent.
# PRBRAD - Solvent probe radius in Angstrom:
# 1.4: with the radii in the prmtop files. Default.
# 1.6: with the radii optimized by Tan and Luo (In preparation).
# See RADIOPT on how to choose a cavity radii set.
# RADIOPT - Option to set up radii for PB calc:
# 0: uses the radii from the prmtop file. Default.
# 1: uses the radii optimized by Tan and Luo (In preparation)
# with respect to the reaction field energies computed
# in the TIP3P explicit solvents. Note that optimized radii
# are based on AMBER atom types (upper case) and charges.
# Radii from the prmtop files are used if the atom types
# are defined by antechamber (lower case).
# SCALE - Lattice spacing in no. of grids per Angstrom.
# LINIT - No. of iterations with linear PB equation.
#
# NP Parameters for nonpolar solvation energies if MS = 0
#
# NPOPT - Option for modeling nonpolar solvation free energy.
# See sander PB documentation for more information on the
# implementations by Tan and Luo (In preparation).
# 1: uses the solvent-accessible-surface area to correlate total
# nonpolar solvation free energy:
# Gnp = CAVITY_SURFTEN * SASA + CAVITY_OFFSET. Default.
# 2: uses the solvent-accessible-surface area to correlate the
# repulsive (cavity) term only, and uses a surface-integration
# approach to compute the attractive (dispersion) term:
# Gnp = Gdisp + Gcavity
# = Gdisp + CAVITY_SURFTEN * SASA + CAVITY_OFFSET.
# When this option is used, RADIOPT has to be set to 1,
# i.e. the radii set optimized by Tan and Luo to mimic Gnp
# in TIP3P explicit solvents. Otherwise, there is no guarantee
# that Gnp matches that in explicit solvents.
# CAVITY_SURFTEN/CAVITY_OFFSET - Values used to compute the nonpolar
# solvation free energy Gnp according NPOPT. The default values
# are for NPOPT set to 0 and RADIOPT set to 0 (see above).
# If NPOPT is set to 1 and RADIOPT set to 1, these two lines
# can be removed, i.e. use the default values set in pbsa
# for this nonpolar solvation model. Otherwise, please
# set these to the following:
# CAVITY_SURFTEN: 0.04356
# CAVITY_OFFSET: -1.008
#
# NP Parameters for nonpolar solvation energies if MS = 1
