Subject: AMBER: mgbjsb radii in GBSA

>Dear all,
>> I would like to calculate the binding energy of a protein-ligand complex
>> using GBSA. I created topologies of ligand, receptor and complex with
>> leap,
>> setting as default the mgbjsb radii (amber7) to be used with igb=4. The
>> ligand
>> uses the gaff force field, the protein uses ff99 and the complex uses
>> mixed
>> gaff+ff99.
>> While the GB energies of the receptor and of the complex seem ok, the GB
>> energy of the ligand is out of scale. I noticed that in the topology
>> file
>> of the ligand, the first atom has a radius of zero (which explains why
>> EGB
>> goes out of range) while the others are different from zero. Even if I
>> tried only for ten different molecules, it seems that when the first
>> atom
>> in the prep file belongs to a charged group (eg COO-, NH3+), its radius
>> is set to zero. Differently, all atoms have a non-zero radius, and GBSA
>> works
>> fine.
>> I include a prep file of a molecule that did NOT work, as an example.
>> Any ideas of why this could happen?
>> Thank you very much in advance for your help
