Hi amber user audience,
I try to
calculate the binding energy interaction between a protein and a
peptide. But the calculated binding energy difference between the two
methods is so large, I am little bit confused which methods really give
significant results (please see the results below) . Secondly, the
experimental results is~10 kcal/mol. Hence it is hard to  convince them the theoretical methodology works. I therefore, highly appreciate your comments and valuable suggestions. I
use AMBER 12.
