[AMBER] free energy calculation for restraining ligand

Hello,

I am trying to calculate free energy required to restrain a ligand.

So far, I have tried using TI implemented in Amber18, where I described the
unrestrained and restrained ligand in the same prmtop file and used a
lambda parameter to go from the unrestrained to the restrained state.
However, the dV/dlambda values which I got are close to zero.

I am currently considering running two separate MD simulations with and
without restraints and then using MBAR to estimate energies.

Is there any other way this can be done, particularly using TI ?

Thanks for your help,
Sukanya
