Hi Prof. Luo, Dr Cai and all,

I did two more simple tests with only 1 water and 2 water molecules.

For a system with only 2 water molecules, the decomposed PBSA result is as
follows:

| Run on Tue May 15 04:19:35 CEST 2012
idecomp = 2: Decomposition per-residue adding 1-4 interactions added to EEL
and VDW.
DELTAs can only be printed with the default mask assignments

Energy Decomposition Analysis (All units kcal/mol): Poisson Boltzmann
solvent

Complex:
Total Energy Decomposition:
Residue | Internal | van der Waals | Electrostatic
| Polar Solvation | Non-Polar Solv. | TOTAL
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WAT 1 | 1.622 +/- 0.000 | 0.000 +/- 0.000 | 0.000 +/- 0.000
| -9.324 +/- 0.000 | 0.000 +/- 0.000 | -7.702 +/- 0.000
WAT 2 | 1.672 +/- 0.000 | 0.000 +/- 0.000 | 0.000 +/- 0.000
| -8.951 +/- 0.000 | 0.000 +/- 0.000 | -7.279 +/- 0.000

Again *the vdw and elec components are zero for each water molecule in
decomposed PBSA.* The decompsed energies for water molecule in decomposed
PBSA (for systems with more than one water molecules) are close to those of
one single water molecule system, for which the vdw and elec components are
indeed zero.

But* the decomposed GBSA results look all OK*.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WAT 1 | 1.622 +/- 0.000 | 27.097 +/- 0.000 | -5.080 +/- 0.000
| -9.405 +/- 0.000 | 0.605 +/- 0.000 | 14.839 +/- 0.000
WAT 2 | 1.672 +/- 0.000 | 27.097 +/- 0.000 | -5.080 +/- 0.000
| -9.453 +/- 0.000 | 0.557 +/- 0.000 | 14.793 +/- 0.000

Could you please direct me to some reference on the theoretical detail of
the MMPBSA per residue decomposition method implemented in Amber please?

Thanks!

Qiong
