Hi Vignesh -- There shouldn't be a huge difference in time; the computational complexity for the SAV and WCA calculations is approximately linear. The energy differences likely arise from the parameters you've chosen for gamma, pressure, and the probe radius. How did you select these parameters?

Subject: Re: [Apbs-users] ERROR: initAPOL: Got NULL Vparam object! Thanks, Dr. Baker. May I please also ask if including the WCA energy calculation will take enormous time ? I did a test calculation with ~800 atoms and it took about 1.5 hours. Another calculation with ~9000 atoms has been running for about ~15 hours now and has not yet ended. I just want to know if I am right, or I have made some mistake somewhere unknowingly. Also, for the 800 atom system, the total apolar energy is about ~2000 kJ/mol with WCA model and ~3000 kJ/mol with the SAV model (that is, only gamma and press keywords; bconc set to 0). Can I please check with you if such a huge difference is expected (1000kJ/mol)? From the PNAS article (http://www.pnas.org/content/103/22/8331.full) I understand that the SAV model significantly brings the apolar solvation energies closer to the explicit solvent calculations. If the SAV model is accurate enough (despite the large difference introduced by WCA model), then, in light of the time-consuming nature of the WCA calculations, can I rely just on the calculations based on the SAV model? (I am interested in calculating the relative binding energies of the wild type and mutant protein-DNA system.) I will be glad to for any pointers and suggestions.
