[gmx-users] Docking Energy confirmation

[Marc Baaden]

Hi Filipe,

this is very funny, because I am currently doing something very
similar/asking a similar question. I haven't tried it with Gromacs,
but as has been suggested by Ilya, you could use some implicit
solvent model (eg a simple sigmoidal dielectric via a user table)
to do so, or wait for Gromacs 4 with GB.

Another options (that I actually adopted) is to check autodock
results with STC (structural thermodynamics calculations) which
is available from U Pence. They also have a script (atd2stc I think
it is called) to cross-check autodock versus STC energies.

In that case the structure is not relaxed however but considered
as is.

NB: I don't have the STC website at hand, but with keywords STC and
Pence you should find it via google.

Cheers,
Marc
