[Users-list] Protein interchain energies

[Nuno R. L. Ferreira]

Hi *

First time on this mailing list.
A newbie question, about the GRID capabilities.
I have a set of similar models of a dimer of proteins. Think on them has 2
cylinders, side by side along the main cylinder axis. From electrostatics
calculations (Grasp) I know that there's a surface segregation of charged
residues. 
Is it possible to calculate with GRID an interchain energy for each model, in
order to calculate which of them is the most stable, in terms of
electrostatics and VDW clashes?

Best regards,
