Hello,
I'm a new Amber's user (version 7) and
I want to calculate free energy changes
with sander TI
(more precisely a relative binding free energy
using a thermodynamic cycle).
I understood it is
needed to create a "frcmod" file that gives the properties of
the dummy atoms,
when certain atoms disappear from the initial state.
All the examples I found on the list give
as I expected it, zero vdw parameters in this case, but
bond and angle parameters that correspond to
"real" atoms ... (non-zero mass and non-zero force constants ?!).
This will add potential
energy terms which have no signification for
the desired final state ... (? )
Any comments will be appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
E. Henon
