Dear Hannes,

I am trying to reproduce initially the results from the Kaus et al paper you mention for the first ligand ( 7-sulfamoyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolinium), now if I am understand correctly first I need to obtain the mol2 file using antechamber with gaff model, starting from the PDB structure of this ligand this is what I tried to do using this commands:

reduce SKF_A.pdb > SKF_hyd.pdb
antechamber -i SKF_hyd.pdb -fi pdb -o SKF.mol2 -fo mol2 -c bcc -s 2

This yields completely different atom types and charges as compared to the paper of Kaus, as expected since they used RESP model and I used AMB1-BCC, but I don’t have gaussian….

Do you think the final DG value will be highly different using the bcc model or could you recommend to use a different model of those included in amber that I could use, which will provide more similar charges to the ones on the paper?

Will those values highly impact the final results?

Thanks a lot,

Fabian
