I don't quite understand what you're asking. Without reweighting simulated
annealing snapshots using something like MBAR, snapshots from simulated
annealing cannot be used to compute binding free energies.

If you are talking about starting molecular dynamics from a final pose
generated from simulated annealing, that would work as long as that
structure is equilibrated previously.

Good luck,
