Dear all

I study TUTORIAL A9: (Thermodynamic Integration using soft core potentials).

I have some questions about that:

1) In the page http://ambermd.org/tutorials/advanced/tutorial9/setup.html

Thomas Steinbrecher mentioned to 4 pdb, prm and rst files:
complex(lysozyme + benzen) - ligand(benzen in water) - t4_phn(lysosyme
+ phenol) - phn(phenol in water).

in the (Input file preparation) section, Thomas Steinbrecher said "
Two different ligand transformations need to be simulated, benzene to
phenol in water and bound to lysozyme".
but in the table


  Process 0 (V0) prmtop: t4_bnz prmtop: t4_bnz
  prmtop: t4_phn
___________________________________________________________________________

  Process 1 (V1) prmtop: t4_bnz prmtop: t4_phn
  prmtop: t4_phn


I think following table is true.


  Process 0 (V0) prmtop: t4_bnz prmtop: t4_bnz
  prmtop: t4_phn
transformation of the
t4_bnz to t4_phn
___________________________________________________________________________

  Process 1 (V1) prmtop: bnz prmtop: bnz
  prmtop: phn
transformation of the
bnz to phn

please explain this table more.

2) I know that in free energy, Zero lambda corresponds to the
unperturbed system (or the first of the two multisander groups) and
lambda = 1 corresponds to the perturbed Hamiltonian, or the second of
the two multisander groups.

what is mean of 0 and 1 in the table above?

according to my Knowledge, It should be

transformation of the t4_bnz (0) to t4_phn (1)

transformation of the bnz (0) to phn (1)

3)Thomas Steinbrecher said "a total of 2 transformations, with 3
substeps each, with 9 &lambda windows each with 3 simulations each
will be performed for a total of 162 invocations of the sander module
(each using at least two CPUs)"

my impression is that I should use 162 times

mpirun -np 2 $AMBERHOME/exe/sander.MPI -ng 2 -groupfile *.group

is it true?

4) I want to know what step is this groupfile Thomas Steinbrecher put
in tutotrial about?

-O -i mdin_min_v0_l1 -o t4_bnz_min_v0_l1.out -p t4_bnz.prm -c
t4_bnz.rst -r 4_bnz_min_v0_l1.rst
-O -i mdin_min_v1_l1 -o t4_bnz_min_v1_l1.out -p t4_bnz.prm -c
t4_bnz.rst -r 4_bnz_min_v1_l1.rst
