Preparing Free Energy Perturbation<br />

Now click Maestroʹs Adjustment tool on the left icon menu as shown in Figure 7.9 to turn<br />

Figure 7.9 Manual adjustment of the substitution group conformation<br />

Click the ‘Adjustment’<br />

button to enable manual<br />

adjustments, such as<br />

“quick-torsion”.<br />

Click the attachment bond (shown in green) to display the non‐bonded contacts between<br />

the butyl fragment and the ligand core. As shown in Figure 7.10, there are bad contacts<br />

(displayed in orange) and ugly contacts (displayed in red). Good contacts are not shown<br />

by default because there are too many of them. See the documentation on the Measurements<br />

panel for the Contacts tab. Removing the ugly contacts is a good idea, and the bad<br />

contacts remaining are probably not a big issue.<br />
