Re: [AMBER] [Sender Not Verified] Alchemical free energy

Could you use an intermediate compound identical to your starting molecule
but with zero partial charges? Perturbing to that gives you electrostatic
contributions, then perturbing the intermediate to a dummy molecule gives
the vdw and cavity contribution. It may not be exactly what you want since
you also switch off (and on again in the vacuum step) the internal
electrostatics.

Kind Regards,

Thomas
