Dear Carlos
Thank you very much for your explanation.
I will look into some well-cited papers and check their approaches.
Cheers

Subject: Re: [AMBER] Entropy can be neglecected under which condition
there really is no broad answer such as "yes entropy is not important for
this situation". neglecting entropy is always an approximation. yes, it is a
better approximation for relative affinities than it would be for absolute
affinities, but you still lose accuracy. whether it is ok to neglect entropy
for relative affinities depends on how similar the ligands are (congeneric
series is better, different scaffolds is worse), and how accurate you need
your results to be.
