Hello,

I wanted to know how can I minimize the standard deviation (SD) of my simulated protein-ligand complex of 50ns using MM/PBSA method of Cafe 2.0 plugin of VMD plugin using NAMD. I have tried number of different ways- like decreasing the number of frames from 2000 to 250 and even adjusting the internal dielectric (pb_indi) constant value at 1, 2 and 4. However, in each indi values, I got a higher SD value 4.57, 20.13, and 30.12 respectively. However, with the pb_indi value as 1, resulted in lower binding energy i.e. -5.49 kcal/mol.

Are there any other ways that I can minimize the SD as well as get a higher negative binding energy?

Thank you for consideration.
