Hi Sangita,
I'm one of those that reported somehow better results from GBSA than for
PBSA, but this is contectual to the field of application. In our case
(
http://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/ct400045d or
http://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/acs.jcim.6b00196) we were looking
for a protocol to quickly score several complexes, so speed was quite a
concern. Indeed, we postprocessed quite short MD trajectories (~4 ns)
and, being GB more approximated than PB, it also seemed to be less
sensitive to the MD simulation lenght. Using PB in such approximate
calculations would have been like using a precision scope on a shotgun
(it would hardly improve the probability of hitting the target).
All the best,
Alessandro
