Esteban,
If you are referring to the binding of a ligand and not protein-protein binding, then presently it is best to use NAMD for the calculation of *relative* free energies of binding using either Free Energy Perturbation (FEP) or Thermodynamic Integration (TI) in NAMD 2.7b1 with the following softcore parameters (prior to any individual refinement as needed, according to your system):
fepVdwLambdaEnd 1.0
fepElecLambdaStart 0.5
fepVdwShiftCoeff 5.0
It is perhaps more advisable to attempt absolute binding energy calculations using a WCA decomposition of the energy/interaction contributions which we will be looking at implementing into NAMD sometime this summer.
If you are referring to protein-protein binding, this is a conceptually similar but practically another matter ....
C.
