Hi,

computing binding free energies is a tremendously difficult issue. No
method will give you numbers that can just be used at face value.

I would say that it is not unusual to get different docking scores and
MM-PBSA (with no entropy) results. You really compute two different
quantities here, plus both methods can have results of variable quality.

So you may very well have done everything 'right' in the calculations and
still get different answers.

Kind Regards,

Thomas
