Hi!

I am calculating the binding free energy between two proteins from a simulation trajectory. The final binding energy is coming in positive.

I am using CHARMM36 ff for the simulation.

Please suggest what parameters should I change to get correct estimation of binding free energy.
I have used the following parameter file.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Sample input file for PB calculation
This input file is meant to show only that gmx_MMPBSA works. Although, we tried to use the input files as recommended
in the Amber manual, some parameters have been changed to perform more expensive calculations in a reasonable amount of time. Feel free to change the
parameters according to what is better for your system.

&general
sys_name="Prot-Lig-CHARMM",
startframe=24990,
endframe=25000,
# In gmx_MMPBSA v1.5.0 we have added a new PB radii set named charmm_radii. This radii set should be used only
# with systems prepared with CHARMM force fields. Uncomment the line below to use charmm_radii set
#PBRadii=7,
/
&pb
# radiopt=0 is recommended which means using radii from the prmtop file for both the PB calculation and for the NP
# calculation
istrng=0.15, fillratio=4.0, radiopt=0

I see you are using only 11 frames... please try with more frames (100 minimum) and also check this section in the docs (https://valdes-tresanco-ms.github.io/gmx_MMPBSA/Q%26A/calculations/#possible-solutions_2)... if you want to dismissed the EDISPER term, If you are using a current version (v1.5.2 or the development version), you can generate the output file without having to recalculate the whole system. To do this, in the _GMXMMPBSA_info file set INPUT['inp'] = 1
