This is true if you use the same trajectory for bot simulations (which makes sense).

You should get exactly the same results, since Greceptor1-Greceptor2 = 0. If you are not getting the same results, then you are making a mistake somewhere. If you are doing it by hand, make sure you use the parentheses on your calculator where need be, or be sure to carry the negative sign through the Gligand term.
Good luck,
Jason
