Thanks Jason for your inputs, I saw the table in Amber14 manual.

**********Input file that i am using for calculation is as
below*************

&general
   endframe=100, interval=1, keep_files=0, strip_mask=:WAT, Na+,
/
&gb
  igb=2,
/
&pb
  exdi=80, indi=1.0,
  inp=1, cavity_surften=0.00542, cavity_offset=0.92,
  fillratio=4, scale=2.0, prbrad=1.4, radiopt=0,
/

*******For entropy calculation using NMode, the input file is:-************

&general
   endframe=100, keep_files=0, strip_mask=:WAT, Na+,
/

&nmode
   nmstartframe=1, nmendframe=100,
   nminterval=1, maxcyc=10000, drms=0.001,
   nmode_igb=1,
/


So, using the above input file i calculated the binding energy and entropy.
I am using ff99 force filed for running simulation in NPT ensemble using
TIP3P water model.
When i calculated the binding energy and entropy without setting default
radii to mbondi2 before saving the topology files for ligand, receptor and
complex.

The result that i got is Delta G=-21.46 kcal.mol and TdeltaS= -20.32
kcal/mol.

And when i calculated the binding energy and entropy after setting the
PBRadii to mbondi2.
The result that i got is Delta G=-22.02 kcal.mol and TdeltaS= -13.44
kcal/mol.

Here in both the calculation value of entropy has changed much and value of
delta H is more or less within the error limit.

I need your comments and suggestions on this.
Thanks a lot in advance.
