Hi, thank you very much for the comments.

I would like to try the "Table:2 input parameters recommended for non polar solvation free energy calculations for protein systems" as it is given in the AMBER 12 / Examples/ TEMPLATE_INPUT_SCRIPTS / SURFTEN_SURFOFF_Recommendations.pdf file.

It would be very nice if you let me know how we can give the command in tleap/xleap for "Parse" and "Rmin" radii ? Is it also like "set default PBradii Parse/Rmin" ?


And how someone can change the MS=1 and IVCAP=1 or 5 in MMPSA.py input file ? I couldnt find it in general namelist variables for MS and IVCAP.

Best regards,

We used the default values for surften (not sure what surfoff is) in our paper
http://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/ct3010485


Since the nonpolar energy model in Amber is quite "simple" and has some limitations, we decided not to systematically investigate the best value for SURFTEN. However, with the default value, we were still able to quantitatively reproduce the melting curves of several small proteins.

The igb8 parameters were hard-coded in Amber so you don't need to specify any special input, just using it like using igb = 2 or igb = 7. But we recommend to use mbondi3 (specify in tleap input when you are building topology file).
 
The default SURFTEN value is for ALL igb models.

I have read the manual and try to google and search the mailing list but couldnt find any statement about this issue. I may just missed it maybe but it would be very nice if you can comment on it.
