I have not read your original article. Maybe I will read it tomorrow. But the original pdb file has 5 same chains, and from your tutorial it seems you pdb file for the tutorial has 2 different chains. Will you please let me know how do you get you pdb file for your tutorial/ Or you just have 1 chain in your tutorial PDB file, but in the gro file you defined it into 2 chains from a single chain?

The structure has 5 chains. The purpose was to calculate the binding free energy for the terminal peptide (chain A) to the complete structure (i.e., interacting with chain B). The rationale for restraining chain B is explained in the article.

Thus if I am right, the energy calculated should be the disintegation energy of the whole protein to the 5 chain peptide. In addition the protein chain in the original pdb is from residue 17 to 42. > This makes me confused when you define "1-27" to chain A, and "28-54" to chain B. > It seems your tutorial protein is a 2 chain protein, not the 5 chain protein.

The .gro file is renumbered during pdb2gmx.
