Dear Mark,
I know that the tutorial can go through, my problem is just how to
generate the two topology files. From the tutorial, I know how to run TI
calculation, but first, I got to know how to prepare these files, both
for topology and coordinate files. I will highly appreciate for your
suggestion if you can help me! Thanks!
Be advised that calculating free energies in Gromacs-4.0.x is different from the
instructions in the tutorial, which are for version 3.3.x; topology manipulation
is no longer necessary and the methods for decoupling are controlled by settings
in the .mdp file. You haven't said which version of Gromacs you're using, but
that is quite important. There are several threads in the list archive that
discuss free energy calculations in Gromacs-4.0.x. There are no tutorials,
however. There are various programs in the User Contribution section of the
Gromacs site for generating small molecule topologies, as well as the PRODRG
server for Gromos topologies. The parameters that any of these programs give
are not necessarily 100% reliable (especially in the case of PRODRG).
Generating a coordinate file is going to depend on what you're doing. If you
have a simple small molecule in water, you'll have to have some initial
configuration for the solute and there are many tools that can be used for that
purpose. Solvent can be added with genbox. But since you haven't given any
details of what it is that you're trying to accomplish, that's about as precise
as any advice can get.

Didn't the tutorial go through that? Look at its examples.
