Dear Gromacs users

I want to calculate Gibbs free energy too,but about Protein-drug binding.
Please guide more clearly,what texts I need to read for learning how can I do it?

Look into the literature and nearly any of the popular simulation textbooks.

Besides,g-energy has an option for estimating free energy from trajectory file(-fee option) I thought if I had a trajectory file of binding state I could estimate binding free energy by this option.
am  I right?
does it give me Gibbs free energy?(Is this equall to binding free energy?)

Never used this option, but from the description of the option, it calculates delta(G) relative to an ideal gas state, which sounds completely unrelated to what you want to accomplish.

Besides, if g_energy could magically solve this difficult problem, no one would bother with more thorough methods, like PMF or thermodynamic integration.

thanks in advance

        Hi gromacs users
         Can I use gromacs for obtaining Gibbs free energy of binding of
        protein and dna?


    Yes.  I would suggest you read about potential of mean force
    calculations.
