Dear Dr.Justin

I remember I had read this toturial.
I asked in gmx.groups which method can I select if I want to evaluate binding free energy?
And the answer was Umbrella Sampling!


And your reply was that you can't do umbrella sampling efficiently. So the natural conclusions is you have to look for alternate methods.

Besides,
You recommended using free energy cycles in this gmail
I just wanted to know other toturials.
Please let me know if there are any other

If it's not posted on the Gromacs website and you can't find another by searching the web, probably one doesn't exist. If no one has invested the time to make your life easier, you'll have to do things that a tutorial author would otherwise have to do for you: read the manual, read lots of literature, and define a small test case with a well-defined answer (maybe one that's already published) to validate your procedure.

Thanks in advance for your reply

        Dear Dr.Justin

        I couldn't find any tutorial for doing free energy cycles with
        gromacs.
        Then I was forced to select Umbrella sampling,I read your
        toturial and it was very useful for me.I know it approximately
        good now.
        Please let me know if there are any tutorial for free energy cycles.
        I want to learn how I can do this.


    When asking if there are tutorials, you should first check the
    Tutorials page; that's why it exists:

    http://www.gromacs.org/Documentation/Tutorials#Free_Energy_Calculations

    That said, both of those tutorials are out of date, relying on very
    old Gromacs versions.  The fundamental principles still stand,
    though.  Read in the manual about new .mdp options and new methods
    for calculating free energy.

        Thanks in advance for your guidance

               Dear All

               I want to evaluate the binding free energy of protein-dryg.

               My protein has so many atoms(5000 atoms),it make running
        too long.
               I want to use Umbrella sampling for this.

               Can I separate active site of protein (a radious of 3 nm
        around
               of my drug )and do my work on this system?


           I would think that such a fractured system would suffer from a
           number of unpredictable artifacts.  Protein structure is fairly
           sensitive, so you'd have to apply lots of artificial
        restraints to
           preserve geometry, but then what if even small conformational
           changes are needed to for the protein to properly bind the drug?

           Umbrella sampling is one of the more laborious ways of
        calculating
           binding energies.  Free energy cycles would probably be
           significantly more efficient, since you can use a smaller box
        size
           and (in all likelihood) run shorter simulations that still
        converge.
