Dear users,

I’m performing relative binding free energy calculation in Gromacs 5.0.5. In 
the mdp files I’m using the following section


free-energy              = yes

init_lambda_state        = LAMBDA

fep_lambdas              = 0.0 0.25 0.5 0.75 1.0 1.00 1.0 1.0 1.0 1.0 1.0 1.0 
1.0  1.0 1.0  1.0 1.0  1.0 1.0  1.0

vdw_lambdas              = 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.05 0.1 0.2 0.3 0.4 0.5 0.6 
0.65 0.7 0.75 0.8 0.85 0.9 0.95 1.0

;couple-moltype           = LIG

;couple-lambda0           = vdw-q

;couple-lambda1           = none

;couple-intramol          = no

sc-alpha                 = 0.5

sc-sigma                 = 0.3

sc-power                 = 1.0

sc-r-power               = 6

sc-coul                  = no

nstdhdl                  = 100

calc-lambda-neighbors    = -1


And I obtained the following values

   -0.218  +-  0.008     -0.219  +-  0.002     -0.211  +-  0.001

It is clear the instability of the first four lambda values. Can someone 
suggest me a way to avoid it? I’m trying to use different sc-alpha, sc-power 
and sc-r-power. Any suggestion?

Thank you,
Stefania
