Dear Amber users,

Here are the results of the binding energy calculated by python and perl
mm/pbsa respectively, and also the input files are showed here.

the input file for calculation of perl version:

GBSOL 194.93 23.20
GBELE -64.67 22.01

For the python case, the input file is:

&general
 startframe=1, endframe=400, interval=1,
 verbose=1, keep_files=1,
/
&gb
  igb=5, saltcon=0.10, surften=0.0072, surfoff=0.00,
/
&pb
  indi=1.0, exdi=80.0, scale=2.0, linit=1000, prbrad=1.4,
  inp=1, istrng=0.10, cavity_surften=0.00542, cavity_offset=-1.008,
  fillratio=4.0,
/

and the results of the calculation are:

 DELTA G binding = -80.6986 +/- 5.1168

 DELTA G binding = -54.1686 +/- 4.8905
0.2445

By comparision, we can see that there is a big difference, which is mainly
generated by the solvation free energy. The same situation also exists in
another case. From the input files, I tried to choose the same parameters,
but... So how should I treat the two different results, or how should I
reset the parameters? Thanks very much!
