So for my individual lambdas for equlibriation and production, I will not be using the “crgmask” flag. But how will the program understand that I am trying to remove all partial charges (de couple the ligand from the environment) from my ligand molecule?

Hi,

If you’re disappearing a molecule in one step, the initial state should be the molecule with full vdW and full charge, the end state should be nothing. So the mask should be : timask1=“molecule”, scmask1=“molecule”, timask2-=“”, scmask2=“”. No crgmask should be used.

Best,
Lin
