What is your scmask variable? As I said in my last email, TI decomposition
details contributions to dV/dlambda for each residue, NOT the contribution
of each residue to the total potential. Ergo if a mutation is occurring
only in your ligand and the first water molecule (as I suspect), then only
those two residues will have non-zero contributions to the internal
dV/dlambda. All other internal terms are constant wrt to lambda, so
dV/dlambda is zero. This also explains why the non-bonded values are so
tiny for every other residue besides 236. The only values that contribute
to the decomposed energies are basically the interactions of those residues
with (only) the softcore region.

Another thing that should stick out is that the contribution to the
internal dV/dlambda is negative, and it is large negative. While
technically a torsion potential can be negative (with a small value),
bonds and angles can only be non-negative (and positive for all values
other than the equilibrium bond or angle). -196 is virtually impossible
for the bond+angle+torsion energy within a single residue, but is perfectly
reasonable as a contribution to dV/dlambda.
