Thanx for your kind reply. I want to calculate free energy of binding for
protein and alpha-L methyl fucose. I fallowed the same procedure give in
amber tutorial (TUTORIAL
2<http://www.rosswalker.co.uk/tutorials/amber_workshop/Tutorial_two/index.htm>:
Using dynamics simulations to estimate binding energetics. (*Beginner*)). in
the tutorail the are getting binding energy is simply by Ecomplex - Eprotein
- Epeptide. But unfortunately for my case i am getting the free energy of
binging very much different. it is in +ve. I have PDB of my protein and
fucose which i showing -9.5 Kcal/mol free energy of binding in ITC and SPR
experiments.
i an getting
Ecomplex = - 5164
Eprotein = - 5248
Epeptide = + 74

so wat may be problem. paramatre choosen by me was same posted earlier, when
i an chooding INTDIAL from 1 to 4 ..value is changing but binding energy is
not -ve in any case. could you tel me how should i proceed for this ??

sincerely
sushil
