Hi Carlos,

thanks for your comment. I use GB model 2 (Onufriev, Bashford, Case) with mbondi2 radii.

best
Martin

GB is notoriously poor at desolvation estimates for Arg. Which gb model and
radii set are you using?

Dear Amber Users,

I am introducing mutations in a binding site between an antibody and a
protein. The MMGBSA calculations do correlate with experimental data in
most of the cases. In one case where I mutate an arginine to an alanine
MMGBSA overestimates the loss in binding energy. Water is coming in at the
location of the mutation. I would like to do MMGBSA calculations including
the water at this location. I use 150 frames in the calculations.

So far, I calculated the contacts of this residue to the solvent by:

nativecontacts :42 :WAT writecontacts solvent_contacts.dat resout
solvent_contacts_res.dat out solvent_contacts_out.dat includesolvent
contactpdb solvent_contacts.pdb

In the output files I only found information about 'How many water
contacts there are in one frame' or 'What fraction of time a specific water
contact can be observed'. What I am missing is the information 'What
contacts are in frame 1,2,3,... etc.'. I thought about a workaround,
loading one frame at a time and calculate nativecontacts but maybe you know
an easier way?

cheers
Martin
