[gmx-users] free energy calculation

[Maik Goette]

I bet, this topic has been discussed on the list multiple times before.
Numerical Integration is the keyword here and be aware of the problems 
in calculating the total error from the single errors (look into Shirts 
papers).
I suggest to inform yourself intensively about free energy calculation 
methods, their pros and cons in general.
Using a tutorial is not the only thing to do, to compute meaningful free 
energies.
