Dear all Amber users,
I am trying to calculate the reaction mechanism of an enzyme by the thermodynamic integration approach with Amber package. But I notice that in the thermodynamic integration, one should set the starting and ending states to calculate the energy difference between them. Previously I use umbrella sampling to get the potential mean force (PMF) of a reaction. I am confused if I want to use thermodynamic integration approach, should I define many groups along the reaction coordinate of reaction path, and add a constraint force on the atoms of reaction? Should I combine the thermodynamic integration with umbrella sampling?
Many thanks!
