Sorry for my confusing written english.

I need to calculate binding free energy for membrane protein-ligand complex.

>From literature binding free energy

 delta Gtotal = delta Gelc + delta Gnp + delta Glip + delta Gimm + delta
Gcon

I can easily calculate solvation energy part by using MMGBIM module of
charmm (Gele+Gnp) using ensemble of protein-ligand complex conformation
by removing atoms belong POPC lipid and TIP3P water from 50ns simulated
trajactory.

How we can calculate Glip( lipid perturbation effect) ,Gimm( immobilization
effect) and Gcon ( conformational effect) term for determining free energy.

Thanks for reply and giving me suggestion.
Thanks & Regards
