Dear Gromacs-Developers,

I'm trying to change my system between two states (A and B) by applying
the TI formalism based on the coupling parameter approach. Since the
conversion from state A to B involve breaking of a covalent bond between
two atoms, the excluded neighbours as well as the third neighbours (1-4
interactions) of these atoms will be different in state A and B.
As an example: a hexane molecule (state A) is transformed in two propane
molecules (state B). This implies the breaking of the bond between C3 and
C4 and the redefinition for state B of all the excluded neighours.

Apparently, GROMACS does not allow the change in the exclusions between to
states.

How can redife my exclusions?

thanks in advance,

Sofia Oliveira
