Through MD calculations, a comparative of MM/PB(GB)SA methods is carried out, with a detail insight on binding free energy calculations, using different force fields and charge models considering short and medium time-simulation. The force fields were provided by AMBER package, and the charge models used were RESP, ESP, AM1-BCC and Gasteiger, being the former the best choice, although AM1-BCC charges are preferred due to the high computational efficiency. The results proved that the program used to resolve PB or GB equations is a key factor in order to obtain good accuracy.
