NAME

gmx-lie - Estimate free energy from linear combinations

SYNOPSIS

gmx lie [ -f [<.edr>] ] [ -o [<.xvg>] ] [ -b <time> ] [ -e <time> ] [ -dt <time> ]
[ -[no]w ] [ -xvg <enum> ] [ -Elj <real> ] [ -Eqq <real> ]
[ -Clj <real> ] [ -Cqq <real> ] [ -ligand <string> ]

DESCRIPTION

gmx lie 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.
