Hi Ilyas Yildirim,

Thanks for the reply. First of all I apologize, what I have got zero
difference is of V--> A TI-FEP. The frcmod.DH was constructed as give before
for ALA-->GLY.

First - I do not understand why I need use hydrogen mass for dummy atom.
Second - I think that if I put the force constant and eq distance/angle for
the dummy atoms, with that just replaced by that off
!CT-HC, !HC-CT-HC,!HC-CT-HC etc -- I am confused if it still be alright?

Also, I expect that the total energy after 12 windows be lower than the
first window (similar to that of MM-PBSA), but they are not as given below.
The structure after 12th window is still alright - nothing unusual.
Therefore, I feel that there something very wrong with it.

Amber TI-FEP expert would help me ???

      MM-PBSA A V
      ELE -8.44 -8.02
      VDW -36.38 -36.02
      GAS -44.82 -44.04
      PBSUR -3.14 -3.01
      PBCAL 23.04 24.59
      PBSOL 19.91 21.58
      PBELE 14.61 16.58
      PBTOT -24.91 -22.46
      TSTOT 18.48 17.58
      PBTOT-S -6.43 -4.88


This is in good agreement with experiment.
