Description
gmxlie computes a free energy estimate based on an energy analysis from nonbonded energies. One needs an
energy file with the following components: Coul-(A-B) LJ-SR (A-B) etc.
To utilize g_lie correctly, two simulations are required: one with the molecule of interest bound to its
receptor and one with the molecule in water. Both need to utilize energygrps such that Coul-SR(A-B),
LJ-SR(A-B), etc. terms are written to the .edr file. Values from the molecule-in-water simulation are
necessary for supplying suitable values for -Elj and -Eqq.
