[gmx-users] FEP and soft-core potentials

Thanks once more for your reply David. 

Do you know by any chance if we can get the dVpot/dlambda
for one of the default group of atoms (e.g. protein) rather than 
for the whole system?  

Best wishes 
George

Right. In fact, usually you would lose efficiency by using soft core
potentials for an electrostatic transformation over doing it without
soft core. The purpose of soft core is just to fix the problem with
disappearing/inserting atoms which have 1/r^12 repulsion.
