Dear Justin,

If possible, can you some explain "net attraction"?


Forces are either attractive or repulsive. "Net attraction" means attractive forces dominate over repulsive ones. Please consult some elementary physics or chemistry textbooks for more on these concepts and how they might apply to MD simulations.

        Dear users,

        1.) During the simulation the mean potential energy is minus (-)
        value. What does this mean? Why minus?


    Net attraction.


        2.) let's say, Interface/Buried Surace Area (ISA) between
        protein and ligand was calculated and hydrophobic ISA obtained
        greater than hydrophilic ISA. What does this mean?


    That, as you might expect, hydrophobic groups are shielded from the
    solvent to a greater extent than polar groups.

        No one is my special advisor but If you help me, I will be happy.

        Thanks in advance
