Re: [AMBER] mm_pbsa fails

Dear Dr. Ray Luo,

Thanks for your suggestion. I changed fillratio to be 4 in _is_init.f,
is_init.f and mm_pbsa_createinput.pm. I obtained the following
snapshot_statistics.out.

I have two questions on this mm_pbsa calculation of binding free energy.

1). According to the tutorial, mm_pbsa does not calculate entropy because
it assumes there is no significant conformational change. I am wondering how
much is *significant* conformational change? In my case, there is some *local
conformational change* upon the binding of *calcium ion*.

2). With respect to calcium, do you have an idea of the accuracy of mm_pbsa
calculation.
