Thanks for your reply Justin. I know it well that your that tutorial is
nothing to do with g_lie. But being as a gromacs user I am not getting this
point so I am asking this question.
For the protein I am taking all the default values which has been set by
g_lie program. And for the ligand we have to calculate it using g_energy
module. I have done with that part also. But f*or my ligand I am obtaining
Elj (LJ-14)= 226.365 and Eqq (*Coulomb-14) *= -125.048 (both in KJ/mol).**
When I am comparing them with their respective counterpart for the protein
(Clj and Cqq value 0.181 and 0.5 respectively; the Elj and Eqq values are
set 0 for the protein), they seem to be very large. Is it natural or there
is something wrong in my procedure. *
*PS I have performed simple gromacs simulation of ligand in water (that has
not included your free energy codes).*

*Regards*
