Dear Jason,

Thank you for your response and advaise to use MMPBSA.py.

I have observed that ligand fluctuates between several different orientations in the receptor active site.
I need to identify the average 3D structures of these conformational clusters of the ligand.
That is why I want to analyse the energetic profile of receptor-ligand complex depending
on different orientations of the ligand accepted during productive MD trajectory.
For the analysis I need to eliminate a big energetic noise produced by bulk solvent water molecules.
I am not sure, unfortunately, that the MMPBSA.py is a relevant option in my case,
since it is impossible to applay MMPBSA.py for the analysis of md.mdcrd trajectory file
 generated on 25000 frames of productive MD.
I would appreciate your advice that could be applied for my task.

Thank you,
Michael

process_mdout.pl doesn't calculate anything. All it does is parse numbers from mdout files. So there is no way to have process_mdout extract the numbers you want.

This is what programs like MMPBSA.py are designed for.

HTH,
Jason
