I'm not sure what sort of calculation you are thinking about here. I'd
suggest making the softcore region be the amino acid that is mutating. Then
perform the mutation once in the presence of the second protein, then again
in its absence. The difference will give you an estimate of the effect of
the mutation on protein-protein binding. There is no need for any large
softcore region, which you almost certainly do not want.

....good luck....dac
