[Chimera-users] Energy calculation

[Elaine Meng]

Hi Bobo,
Aldo is exactly right.  You want something like a free-energy calculation or estimation, which Chimera does not do. 

Besides the tool Aldo mentioned, I've also heard of SDM <http://mordred.bioc.cam.ac.uk/sdm/sdm.php> , but I haven't tried either of them myself.
Best,
Elaine
