Hi, Nelson,
This page maybe helpful...
http://structbio.vanderbilt.edu/archives/amber-archive/2004/3799.phtml
Dr. Pearlman's series papers on Gibbs are very helpful, you can find them
on the Gibbs manual reference. The following paper can give you some feeling
about decoupling:
J. Chem. Phys. V119, 2003. p5740 " Extremely precise free energy
calculations of amino acid side chain analogs: Comparison of common
molecular mechanics force fields for proteins" M.R. Shirts etc.
So far as I know, when you perturb some charged residues to dummy,
Sander TI may be better, because in Gibbs of AMBER 7 PME had not been used.
I am sorry to transfer this mail to the list without your permission, but
I think it's better for us to learn from other's view. :)
Regards,
Chunhu
