Dear Chris and Mark,
      Thank you both for the response. I did the simulation already and Gromacs 
only gives me the total dH/dl.
So what's wrong with dividing by two, like I suggested last time? You've
got two events and you assert that they're independent, so the
statistics should be easy.

I want an error estimation of the free energy change. not sure how if I only 
know the sum of the two.

If I say the sum of the heights of n independent people is x with estimated error of y, you have useful information about the height of a single independent person, and its error estimate. Details vary with the details.

   The two mutated sites are more than 20A alway from each other which makes it 
safe to assume that the interaction between the two sites is small. If I can 
extract dH/dl for each site, I could get a resonable error estimation of my 
calculation. Furthermore, if this is reliable I will do different mutations in 
two monomers (as long as they are away from each other) so that I can save my 
computational time by 50%. I guess this will involve some code change.
To which mutation would you assign the energy contribution of the atoms
around half way between them?

I do not intend to assign energy contribution to each surrounding atom.  
Gromacs gives dH/dl = dH/dl (monomer 1 site) + dH/dl (monomer 2 site). My 
question is whether it is possible to extract dH/dl (monomer 1 site) and dH/dl 
(monomer 2 site) separately. I would think it should be straightforward 
practically.

Best,
Lishan
