David -
At the moment at least, PMEMD does not support "free energies using
thermodynamic integration". David Case once mused that he might try adding
that functionality to PMEMD in order to better understand the code. I
really don't know how serious he was or what his potential timeframe was.
Personally, like everybody else, I have about a thousand things going on,
and have been more focused on performance as opposed to adding
functionality. If there is a loud enough clamor and it would not take too
much effort, I could probably be persuaded to do it (hence the cc to the
mailing list), especially if some folks in my group decide they could use
the functionality also. Thanks for the positive comments!
Regards - Bob
