Hi,

Is it possible to run the minimization using sander.MPI instead of the
sander module? As in the tutorial, they only use sander for all the steps
before going to the production run.

with regards,
Satyajit Khatua

Sounds like you could just try treating P-Zn as the "receptor" and P as
the "ligand". (Or the reverse: the names "receptor" and "ligand" are just
tags, and you could equally well call the two moieties that are forming
the complex "A" and "B".)

I'm still concerned that PB/GB results for divalent ions depend very
stronly on the dielectric radii that are used. Be sure you will get more
out of the calculation than just one number (the free energy of complex
formation), since that number is likely to have a large uncertainty.
