In almost all cases, you should set INTPRT = 5 (include all
contributions). The only real reasons to set INTPRT to something
other than 5 would be to test for the influence of individual
terms on the total calculated free energy. (I.e. for debugging
and/or characterization purposes). It has been shown
that it is important that all terms be included when calculating
a free energy.
Bottom line: If you want to carry out free energy simulations for
standard purposes, set INTPRT =5 and never look back.
