[AMBER] A question about MMPBSA calculation

Dear Amber users,

I am trying to calculate the binding free energy change for the protein
complex I am working with. The system contains protein A-ligand complexed
with protein B and protein C. I also have another system of unliganded
protein A complexed with protein B and protein C. Now, I am trying to
calculate the binding free energy change in protein A with B and C. I have
few queries here regarding setting up the complex for the MMPBSA.py
calculation.

In all calculation, I will be considering Protein A ( with or without
ligand) as receptor.

1. If I want to calculate the free energy between protein A with protein B,
do I need to consider protein C in the complex and receptor? i.e.,

                           Complex : protein A+protein B+protein C
                           Receptor : protein A+protein C
                           Ligand : protein B


2. Do I need to consider ligand bound to the protein A as a part of
receptor while using protein A as the receptor?


Many thanks in advance

Anu
