Dear gmx users,

I am calculating the free energy of solvating a small ligand by water, using 
FEP method. The free energy is separated into the contribution of electric+vdw. 
I find problem for the vdw part.

I am using gromacs-3.3.1. In the top file, I set the state B of ligand where LJ 
parameters of atoms are zero; in the mdp file, I set the lamda=0.

According to my understanding, above setting should gives me the energy of 
ligand's state A. However, when I calculate the energy with a mdp with 
"free_energy=No" and a top without setting the B state, I get a very different 
energy.

I tried but haven't dig out which part I missed. I greatly appreciate your help 
and consideration on this issue.
