After previous discussions that suggested separating vdw and charge mutations, I thought it was literally a 2 stage process. In one stage I modify all charges (including those for disappearing atoms going to zero) from their starting values to their final values, using 10 lambda points and no so

Hi Bharat, This is the same tutorial that led me astray when I first began trying free energy calculations in Gromacs. I am not sure how close to the experimental value the author intended to get with this hydration free energy tutorial. If you are using a recent version of Gromacs, be aware th

David, I forgot to ask: You said that " the soft core settings that work well for the vdW portion make the charging portion a more "difficult" transformation than normal, and the settings that work well for charging make the vdW portion "difficult". " What settings would you initially suggest t

David and Berk, I enormously appreciate your help in diagnosing my free energy problems. Berk, when you said "I had implemented the alpha=1 option in 3.3 and set it as default" I presume you mean the sc_power=1 option, yes? David, when you talk of splitting the vdW and charge mutations into sep

Greetings once again fellow Gromacs-users, I have seen a substantial and disturbing change in calculated free energy differences between systems run with Gromacs 3.3 and Gromacs 3.3.1. I am trying to determine if these differences are due to the new software, new parameters, insufficient sampli

Hello fellow Gromacs-users, Today I was extracting PDB snapshots from a solvated DNA 12mer simulation trajectory. When I went to view the snapshots, I saw that one of the DNA strands suddenly jumped some nanometers away from its partner during certain frames. I remembered that there was a note
