It seems that what that paper calls enthalpy is really just the sum of the
MM energy terms *including* delta G solvation. This is everything except
for the normal mode contribution. They presumably wrote a script that
calculated these composite terms for each frame from the components that
the MM/PBSA script produces. Their script probably also calculated the
cumulative average and wrote a file that could be plotted easily.
Note however, as I mentioned before, that what they are calling the
enthalpy is not really an enthalpy. It has solvent entropy included.
So you would need to write a script to take the output of the -eo flag in
MMPBSA.py and process it to get the data that they plotted. Or open it in
a spreadsheet like Excel and do your plot there. There is no tool to
automatically create these figures for you.
Alternatively, if you are comfortable with Python, you can extract the data
directly in a Python script using the MMPBSA.py API (which is also
described in the manual).
HTH,
Jason
