Hi All,
I have performed thermodynamic integration using amber8 anf ff99, I
have  calculataed deltaA for protein-ligand system. Later with
Ambertools 1.5 (mmpbsa.py) MM-PBSA, MM_GBSA, and NAB  were done.  When
the TI results are compared with GBSA/PBSA +NAB, I am getting
conflciting results.

TI results deltaA = -9.2 kcal/mol

MM-PBSA = -19.27 +/- 3.09 kcal/mol
MM-GBSA = -11.85        +/-2.34 kcal/mol

NAB (entropy) =       -19.59 +/-        4.16 kcal/mol (10 snapshots)

The PBSA and NAB values are nearly equal.  But when I take the
difference between GBSA and NAB values, the deltaG= +7.74 kcal/mol.
There are no experimental values avaliable for my system for
comparison.

I have done some literature search on free energy of binding.  In some
of the papers, the GBSA/PBSA were lower than NAB/nmode values. Are my
NAB values meaningful?

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
mani
