Hi Ray,

The atom "C4" which is of CG atom type is from receptor.

My RECEPTOR = branched polymer (PPI dendrimer) decorated on surface with
maltose or maltotriose units
I used combination of GAFF and Glycam ff here.

My LIGAND = small molecule ANS ( 8-Anilinonaphthalene-1-sulfonate )
parametrised using GAFF forcefield.


After reading this information from Amber11 manual:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The new method separates nonpolar contribution into two terms: the
attractive (dispersion) and repulsive
(cavity) interactions. Doing so significantly improves the correlation
between the cavity free
energies and solvent accessible surface areas for branched and cyclic
organic molecules.[236]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


I was thinking that for my system might be a new approach:


Gnp = Gdisp + Gcavity = Gdisp + SURFTEN * SASA + SURFOFF


better that the original one ( Gnp = SURFTEN * SASA + SURFOFF ).


There is no problem with GAFF atom types as radii are probably
automatically read from PRMTOP file.
The problem is just with Glycam CG atom type. I proved it by changing CG
to CT in prmtop file.


Anyway if I understood well the new approach for calculation of nonpolar
solvent contribution is actually
applicable (with sufficient reliability) probably just for standard atom
types from proteins, nucleic acids force-fields
( ff99SB, ff99bsc0 etc. ) because only for such atomtypes are in this
moment available optimised (Tan & Luo) radii which
might be probably considerably different from those in PRMTOP file. Am I
right ?

Best wishes,

    Marek
