Hi,

There are automatically different, since they are based on the A and B state charges
and the A and B state atom types.

But the problem is more complicated:

Let's say there is a Butane radical C4H9. that you want to bond to another butane radical to form octane (C8H18). Then the interactions that are non-bonded in the A state are excluded in the B state and replaced by pair interactions.

Is this supported in some way?

Actually for the LJ part that is supported. The solution is to turn the normal non-bonded LJ in part A into pairs and explicitly give the standart sigma/epsion as A, and zero sigma/epsilon (for 1-2 and 1-3 in B), or scaled (for 1-4 in B) as B state parameters.

So far so good. But can the same be done for the colomb 1-4 interactions in the B state? The problem arises since the 1-4 coulomb interactions are scaled down by 1.2 in the AMBER FF, so I need different 1-4 coulomb interactions in A and B.

In principle that problem should be in any FEP calculation which includes the formation of a bond.
