Dear Dr. Case,
This mail is a continuation of my previous mail. I have read your tutorial
on thermodynamic integration (TI) and I was performing the same calculation (Tolune---> nothing) in
the tutorial given. I performed the charging free energy calculations for both in vaccum and in
water and got the results close to the tutorial. But unfortunately I got much different results
when performed for disappearing free energy calculation as compared to the tutorial.
For disappearing free energy calculation in water part I equilibrated the system for each individual
values of clambda and then run for the production for the same value of clambda. I used five values
of clambda from 0.05, 0.15,0.25, 0.35 and 0.45 with klambda =4. Here is my result which is far
different from the results of your tutorial.
DV/DL from my calculation :
13.2628, 4.1287, 1.3485, 0.0854, -0.0716 for values of clambda 0.05,
0.15, 0.25, 0.35 and 0.45 respectively.
DV/DL from tutorial:
22.0, 12.0, 6.0, 0.12 and -0.05 (approximately) of clambda 0.05,0.15,
0.25, 0.35 and 0.45 respectively.
Here is an equilibration input file for a value of clambda = 0.05
neutralize toluene
&cntrl
ntr=0,
nstlim =20000,
nscm=2000, ntave=5000,
ntx=1, irest=0, ntb=2, ntpr=100,tempi=300.0, ig=974651,
ntp=1, taup=1.0,
dt=0.001, nrespa=1,ntt=1, temp0=300., tautp=2.0,
ntc=2, ntf=2, tol=0.000001,
ntwr=10000, ntwx=0,
icfe=1, clambda=0.05, klambda=4,
cut=9.0,
&end

I am using the AMBER-8 version in a Linux system.
So can you please point out the reason of differnce in results and also the
mistake.
