Hi Bill,

I’m looking at the DELTA section of the output file (both .dat and .csv that I specify) and these show zero for all residues (a snippet is below):

DELTA,Backbone Energy Decomposition:
Frame #,Residue,Location,Internal,van der Waals,Electrostatic,Polar Solvation,Non-Polar Solv.,TOTAL
1,GLY 1,R GLY 1,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0
1,PRO 2,R PRO 2,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0
1,HIS 3,R HIS 3,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0
1,MET 4,R MET 4,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0
1,SER 5,R SER 5,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0

Many thanks.

But I would expect the decomp energies for the backbone amino acids to have some contribution to the calculated deltaG.

However, I noticed that although the decomposition is successful for the side chains the backbone contribution for all residues are set to zero. Is there any reason for this? My input file is below:
