Hi Carlos,

   Thanks for your response. What I am working on is trying to improve the production of hydration free energy by adjusting atomic charges and vdw parameters. To this end, I firstly run the simulation with the original Hamiltonian, e.g. H0. Then I changed the selected atomic charges or vdw parameters, resulting in a new Hamiltonian, e.g. H1. I'd like to know if the adjustment of charge or vdw parameters can produce better predicted HFE against experimental measurements. To reduce the computational cost, I used reweighting method to get the HFE under H1 over the trajectory (T0) generated with H0. Thus I need to rerun the energy calculations using H1 over T0. The problem is when too many frames are recorded in T0, it will take too much time to finish the rerun, especially when MBAR or WHAM is used (which requires Nframe x Nstate x Nstate energy calculations). Thus I'd like to know if there is a way to do the energy rerun more efficiently with TI.

Thanks for any suggestions and comments!

Mingjun
