Dear Amber users,

I am using 'MMPBSA.py' for calculating the binding free energy of
protein-ligand interaction. But the calculated binding free energy by GB
and PB method shows a large difference (please see the results below) and
I am a bit confused about which method really give significant result.
Unfortunately, I don’t have any experimental data to compare with.
