Dear dac,
Thanks for the reply. My concept got more clear.
I would like to ask one more thing. As far as I know the binding free energy is calculated as an average over all the frames of the trajectory so this will be valid for all any pose in the trajectory. However, if I select the final pose from simulated annealing will the binding free energy calculated from molecular dynamics be valid ?
Sorry for such lame questions
Thanks in advance.

For most purposes, "no". Simulated annealing trajectories explore a variety of temperatures, in an effort to find an optimal structure. They are not appropriate for use in (say) binding free energy calculations, which are based on an approach that makes use of Boltzmann sampling at a *single* temperature.
