[AMBER] How to reduce the standard deviation of MMPBSA

Dear AMBER community,

I am utilizing the MM-PBSA method to compute the binding free energy
between a protein (residues 1-123) and its (degrader+VHL) (residues
124-286). The total simulation duration is 400 ns. Following an analysis of
the RMSD of backbone atoms relative to the X-ray structure, only the last
200 ns of the simulation were selected for MM-PBSA analysis. However, I
have encountered a significant standard deviation within my system. I am
seeking guidance on how to minimize this standard deviation. Below, I have
provided the input files for tleap, NVT production step, and the output of
MM-PBSA analysis:


source leaprc.protein.ff19SB
source leaprc.gaff
source leaprc.water.tip3p
IFJ = loadmol2 ligand_H.mol2 # mol2 for degrader
loadamberparams ligand_H.frcmod # force field for degrader
mol = loadpdb Ternary_VHL_renum.pdb # see the attach
savepdb mol Ternary_VHL_dry.pdb
saveamberparm mol Ternary_VHL_dry.prmtop Ternary_VHL_dry.inpcrd
solvatebox mol TIP3PBOX 18
addions mol K+ 0
addions mol Cl- 0 # 5 anions were added
savepdb mol Ternary_VHL_solv.pdb
saveamberparm mol Ternary_VHL_solv.prmtop Ternary_VHL_solv.inpcrd
