Respected sir,
I have a scenario where I want to differentiate between active and inactive ligands. For that purpose I ran 30ns MD simulation. However, the final poses were not convincing enough. So I thought to do simulated annealing from the pose attained after the MD for 1ns. I got the poses but I also wished to calculate the binding free energy which i will do from the 30ns MD simulations trajectory.
Now I have final pose which resulting from simulated annealing and binding free energy from MD simulation. So I wanted to know will be the binding free energy calculated from MD will be valid on the pose from simulated annealing or only on the poses present in the trajectory used to calculate binding free energy.
Also can you give me something new to read " reweighting simulated annealing snapshots using something like MBAR to calculate binding free energy". I would try to find out more about this but any reference for it would be helpful.
Thanks and regards,
Nitin Sharma

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,
Jason
