I wanted to know if the protocol prepared in Justin tutorial (http://www.bevanlab.biochem.vt.edu/Pages/Personal/justin/gmx-tutorials/free_energy/01_theory.html) can be used in such case? and if so, should I apply any constrain on rotatable bonds of peptide along the simulation within the non-bonded state?

PMF or MM/PBSA calculations are far better suited for studying these types of 
interactions.
