Sainitin,

calculating standard binding free energies for protein-ligand complexes
can require several days of number crunching. This is not what tutorials
are designed for. The free-energy perturbation tutorial proposes an
exercise
that tackles the question of standard binding free energies using a much
simpler host-guest complex, namely an ion binding a crown ether. Once
you get some feeling on how these calculations are done, transposing to
a real protein-ligand complex should not be too difficult.
