[gmx-users] Help with free energy

[Emanuel Birru]

Hi Milinda,

There are different methods to do Free energy. I am using Thermodynamics Integration method; hence if you are interested to use TI I am willing to guide you, but I never use bar method. I did some parametrization so if you float your topology and mpd files I will give you some idea how to do it.

Cheers,
Emmanuel

Please keep all correspondence on the gmx-users list.  I am not a private tutor
and you have better odds of solving your problem by allowing others to provide
input.

Were you able to reproduce the methane hydration value?

Aniline and anilinium are different, with the latter being more difficult to
deal with on account of its charge.  If you post your topology, perhaps someone
will have some tips on how to modify it to produce better results, but proper
small molecule parameterization is not a task well-suited for new users.  It may
take considerable time and effort to derive a high-quality topology.  For
general advice, consult:
