Hi Prof. Ray Luo,
Thanks very much for your explanation! I think I understand a little now. Thanks!
All the best,
Qinghua

Qinghua,
The positive number is for the delta PB, i.e. the solvation electrostatic interaction is against binding. Note too that delta EEL is negative, i.e. the intermolecular electrostatic interaction is for binding. These two components are always trying to cancel each other so the total delta energy is won't be that crazy in the end, as seen in experiment.
All the best,
Ray

> In the course of mm_pbsa online, http://ambermd.org/tutorials/advanced/tutorial3, in the final results of mm_pbsa, the value of PBCAL is 944.49. Why is it positive? Is that right? While PBCAL/GB is explained as the electrostatic contribution to the solvation free energy calculated by PB or GB respectively. I am just confused, could somebody help me? Thanks in advance!
