Re: [AMBER] constant pH MD: reference energy calculation using finddgrep.py

Why are you trying to find a reference energy for a residue INSIDE the
protein ???

That is NOT what that script is for.

in constant pH runs you find the reference energy for tyrosine in the
model peptide (which by the way, it has already been done for you,
unless you are using a force field combination different than the one
already parametrized in amber for constant pH), and then just run
constant pH MD for the protein.


You NEVER calculate a reference energy for the residue inside the protein.
