I read the manual and also some examples of  free energy calculation.

when I do the simulation:
M(vacuo) --> nothing(vacuo)

I leave only intramolecular interactions.

How can I just leave these interactions? I don't find the answer in the
manual.


"couple-intramol = no" does not subject intramolecular interactions to lambda coupling. But doing this in vacuo is pointless, because then by definition, nothing changes.

I do not know how your top file looks like and what you have done to it.

The setup procedure to create the topolog file would be as for a standard
MD simulation with M.  You would make sure that the "QUI" label referes to
the right indexes in your index file and run TI with you preferred
protocol.  This simplified setup procedure ensures that you do not have to
modify the topology file in any way esp. not to have to set up an explicit
B state.

I suggest to read all parts relating to couple-* in the manual.  This is
scattered over several places in the text.

Cheers,
Hannes.

Thank you for your answer.

I read the manual. As I understand it, I should be deleted, from .top
file, the
section of non-bonded parameters. It's right?

Of course, after the VdW I'll change the electrostatic transformation.

Best regards

The couple-* parameters take already care of including the non-bonded
terms internal to your molecule to correctly describe the transfer of M
to vacuum.  That's the point of those parameters so that you would not
have to run an additional "correction" in vacuo.  See the discussion in
the manual (it's section 5.3 for Gromacs 4.6.x).  You would also need to
compute the electrostatic transformation.

I'm trying to calculate the  solvation free energy of a molecule (M).
I have done:
M+water ---> dum+water

Now I have to do:
M(vacuo) --> dum(vacuo)

In this case I have a problem, in fact I find a DG = 0.00000 and
within the .xvg file there are only zeros.

Where is the problem?
