[AMBER] About of MMPBSA.py results

Dear Amber
users,

I’m doing
some tests with a short MD and MMPBSA.py for free-energy calculation. In this
test I get the results of free energy of two complexes (a ligand for two
different proteins, respectively).

Analyzing
these results I would like to see if the free energy could help to explain the
specificity of the ligand towards one of the proteins.

The results
are:

 

Protein1-ligand:


 

DELTA G
binding: -33.03 + / - 4.11 (std. dev.) 0.08 (Std. err. of mean)

 

Protein2-ligand:

 

DELTA G
binding: -26.69 + / - 3.74 (std. dev.) 0.09 (Std err. of mean)

 

These
results may suggest that the ligand has higher affinity for protein 1. The std.
dev values are large so they do not support this assertion. Aren’t they? Does
the interpretation of the results seem consistent with the results observed?
Best regards,
Aldo
