Subject: [gmx-users] free energies with tabulated potentials or PME
Date: Mon, 30 Oct 2006 14:56:10 -0800 (PST)


hi everybody,

Can somebody tell me whether free energy calcs (TI)
can be done in combination with user defined tabulated
potentials ? ... or in other words: is dU/dlamda
calculated numerically or analytically ?


This is not a question of numerical vs analytical.
dU/dlambda = dU_B - dU_A.
This only means you need to evaluate the energy twice
with a different set of parameters.
Free-energy as well as soft-core interactions are implemented
for all possible combinations.

I understand that in gmx-3.3.1 free energy + PME is
supported, has anybody tested this implementation in
terms of accuracy/speed ?

I have implemented that and it is only slightly slower
than without free energy.
I do not understand your question about accuracy.
There are no approximations, so it is fully accurate.

Berk.
