Dear Mark,
I used thermodynamics integration method (TI) to obtain delta Gibbs energy of the protein membrane with dual topology.

topology A (lambda=0) to topology B (lambda=1)


What did you alter between these two topologies? Nonbonded terms (atom types and/or charges)?

What i obtained after using mdrun command to calculate free energy is dgdl.xvg that contain dV(total)/dlamda via time. I want to obtein dV(bond)/dlamda and dV(non-bond)/dlamda, seperetly. dV(bond)/dlambda and dV(non-bond)/dlambda are not writed in free.edr and free.log. how to produce dv(bond)/dlambda and dV(non-bond)/dlambda.
my version gromacs is 4.0.5 and 4.0.7.

If you simply removed/added charges and/or van der Waals terms, then dV(bonded)/dlambda = 0 since the bonds are unaffected. If you are looking to completely remove all bonded and nonbonded terms from a given molecule, you will have to do extensive topology modifications to eliminate bonds, but in that case your molecule will just fly apart (as a function of lambda) and give a meaningless result. You can mutate molecules (e.g. FEP of molecule A to B), but completely turning off all intra- and inter-molecular interactions using TI does not lend well to obtaining the information you seek.

    Hi,

    contributions of delta bonding and nonbonding energy in delta
    Gibbs energy.


    So instead of using the sum of bonded and non-bonded energy (i.e.
    total PE), use them separately. Whether that will mean anything is
    up to you to demonstrate.

    Best wishes,
