Dear all,

I am trying to recreate the values of reference energies that are described
in titratable_residues.py and I would appreciate some clarification on this
matter.

Taking TYR as example:

 # Tyrosine

refene2 = _ReferenceEnergy(igb2=-65.113428, igb5=-64.166385,
igb8=-61.3305355)
refene2.solvent_energies(igb2=-65.003415, igb5=-64.047229)
refene2.dielc2_energies(igb2=-32.167520, igb5=-31.751177)
refene2.dielc2.solvent_energies()
refene2.set_pKa(9.6, deprotonated=True)

TYR = TitratableResidue('TYR', ['N', 'H', 'CA', 'HA', 'CB', 'HB2', 'HB3',
'CG',
                        'CD1', 'HD1', 'CE1', 'HE1', 'CZ', 'OH', 'HH', 'CE2',
                        'HE2', 'CD2', 'HD2', 'C', 'O'], pka=9.6)
TYR.add_state(protcnt=1, refene=refene1, # protonated
              charges=[-0.4157, 0.2719, -0.0014, 0.0876, -0.0152, 0.0295,
              0.0295, -0.0011, -0.1906, 0.1699, -0.2341, 0.1656, 0.3226,
              -0.5579, 0.3992, -0.2341, 0.1656, -0.1906, 0.1699, 0.5973,
              -0.5679])
TYR.add_state(protcnt=0, refene=refene2, # deprotonated
              charges=[-0.4157, 0.2719, -0.0014, 0.0876, -0.0858, 0.0190,
              0.0190, -0.2130, -0.1030, 0.1320, -0.4980, 0.1320, 0.7770,
              -0.8140, 0.0, -0.4980, 0.1320, -0.1030, 0.1320, 0.5973,
-0.5679])
TYR.check()

In this case, and preparing the prmtop files for the TI calculation, I used
the charges described above for the protonated and deprotonated forms.

For the TI, one of the inputs used was:

nstlim =5000000, nscm=2000,
   ntx=5, irest=1, ntpr=1000,
   temp0=300.0, ntt=3, gamma_ln=5.0,
   igb=5, saltcon=0.1, nrespa=1, cut=30.0
   ntc=2, ntf=2,
   dt=0.001,
   ntwr = 10000, ntwx=1000, ntave=1000
   icfe=1,clambda=0.04794,


With a average result of DV/DL -0.1798.

Using Ref Energy = TI - R*T*ln(10)*pKa I get a value of -5.9172

I would like to ask for thoughts on why this value is so off when compared
whit REF_ENERGY?


Thank you in advance!

Best Regards,
Nuno
