Dear, Amber community,
I was confused by the thermodynamic intergration (TI) method for binding free energy calculation in this tutorial (
http://ambermd.org/tutorials/advanced/tutorial9/#home). Does this method only use to compute the relative binding free energy? Because the final deltaG was from ΔGcomplex - ΔGligands. and the value was +2.2 kcal/mol. If this, how could I use some similar methods to calculate the absolutely binding free energy of protein-ligand complex? Another way, I still don't know how to choose the softe core atoms with a reasonable principle....... OKay, maybe I have a big mistake at the understanding of this tutorial. Please correct my understandings. Any suggestions are welcome.
Best regards,
