Dear prof. Case,
thank you very much for your response.
I read carefully both articles which you suggested and I made this
conclusion:
Calculation of the entropy related to ions organization around the given
polyelectrolyte (cratic entropy)
is already taking in account in relevant Poisson-Boltzman model so it is
probably also implemented in
MM-PBSA Amber routine. If this my conclusion is true, the entropy gain due
to the counterion release during
polyelectrolyte complexation is automatically taking in account in PB part
of the MM-PBSA calculation of the free energy
of binding. Am I right ?
Since frames for the MM-PBSA calculations in Amber contains just "naked"
polyelectrolytes is the effect
of ion atmosphere (entropy, enthalpy) treated some implicit way (like
water) using input parameter ISTRNG
or SALTCON in case of GB model.
Since I am not the expert in this area I would be rally grateful for your
eventual corrections of
my above conclusions.
Thank you very much in advance !
Best wishes
Marek
