Hi
Based off the information below I would say yes to your approach. If you
see a fluctuation in the binding energy from making the R17A mutation than
you know whether or not that particular residue has an important
contribution to the binding free energy. I am not aware of any tutorials,
which demonstrate this using the mm_pbsa.pl though they might exist. There
is however a tutorial demonstrating this using MMPBSA.py. No matter how many
mutations you make at once it will only return back one free energy. You may
want to look at doing Energy Decomposition because this will give you a
better breakdown of each residue's contribution to the free energy.
Good Luck
