Hi gromacs Friends,
             I want to do peptide-receptor ( Protein) interaction
study.Receptor consist a single chain.
Peptide is made up  of  4 amino acids. I know the interaction pattern of
peptide and receptor.
I plan to mutate single residue each at a time and  run 4 simulation .
So I will have the 4 different simulation that contain the mutated residues
and the wild one.


Then afterward from the interaction energy I want to select the peptide
which is showing
stronger interaction than others.

As  mention I know the binding site, If I freeze the remaining portion in
receptor
that not involved in binding , Is it going to affect my screening process
???


Potentially. Do you know that the binding interactions and the mutations will only perturb local residues? Do you know that there are no long-range motions to be considered?

I think you gain very little by freezing portions of the system, and risk more than you gain.
