[gmx-users] Gibbs free energy

Dear Steven,

Many thanks from your help. In the manual at the section g_energy has been written that the gromacs calculate the delta G as is follows:
"Delta G = G(N,p,T) - G idgas(N,p,T) = kT ln < eˆ(Upot/kT) >"
But I don't understand why Upot? to calculate of delta S, I know that "delta S = (internal energy + P*delta V- delta G)/T" but here has been written: Delta S(N,p,T) = S(N,p,T) - S idgas(N,p,T) = (<Upot> + pV - Delta G)/T.

May I ask you to answer me about this and the equation of delta G, Please? 


Best Regards
Sara

Obviosuly not. Total energy in MD = total potential energy + total
kinetic energy. Read basis of MD. There are specific methods to get
free energy which you should aslo read about.
