Dear All,
I planned to use the method introduced in the Umbrella Sampling on-line
tutorial of *Justin Lemkul
*(http://www.bevanlab.biochem.vt.edu/Pages/Personal/justin/gmx-tutorials/umbrella/index.html).
But if a peptide is surrounded by a protein, which means the opening of
the protein-complex is not large enough to allow the peptide to leave
the protein without significantly breaking the conformation of the
protein in the protein-peptide complex, is the Umbrella Sampling method
still valid for the binding energy calculation?
Chris already gave a very thorough answer to this question.
Will you please also show me in which part of the tutorial the direction
of pull-apart is defined? We should process it in a direction the
peptide can leave the protein, not the direction protein will bind the
peptide much strongly.
In the tutorial, the dissociation of one peptide from the complex is in step 5.
Note that the .mdp files and general procedure that you may need would be
significantly different from the approach used in the tutorial, if it is at all
possible to do what you're looking to.
