[gmx-users] Query regarding FEP

[sunita gupta]

Hello All,

I am new user of gromacs and I need to calculate the binding free energy of
a ligand and a protein. With the help of your  short manual (
http://www.dillgroup.ucsf.edu/group/wiki/index.php/Free_Energy:_Tutorial) I
maneged to run 10 ns MD for each lambda values 0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5,
0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9 and 1.0. I am stuck with the analysis part as I am having
"pro.ene" for all lambda values and I encrypted this file using "gmxdump"
programme of Gromacs. My query is what value of potential energy should I
consider ie. Energy, Av Energy or Sum Energy and should I compute averages
considering values for each lambda values?.. Please guide in this respect.

My another query is how to use TI method as all my "dVpot/dlambda" values
are zero?
