Dear all,
I have faced a very strange results while using the FEP together with particle
decomposition in charge transformation. Situation is as follows:
gromacs-4.5.5, single precision, mpi-run on 32 nodes;
only charges are modified in the topology file (VdW and massess remains the
same for A and B state);
particle decomposition (-pd) option is used.
The combination of this conditions lead to a very strange *.xvg file like this
(lambda=0):
@TYPE xy
@ subtitle "T = 300 (K), \xl\f{} = 0"
@ view 0.15, 0.15, 0.75, 0.85
@ legend on
@ legend box on
@ legend loctype view
@ legend 0.78, 0.8
@ legend length 2
@ s0 legend "dH/d\xl\f{} \xl\f{} 0"
@ s1 legend "\xD\f{}H \xl\f{} 0.1"

The usual file (obtained without -pd) looks like this:
@ title "dH/d\xl\f{}, \xD\f{}H"
@ xaxis label "Time (ps)"
@ yaxis label "(kJ/mol)"
@TYPE xy
@ subtitle "T = 300 (K), \xl\f{} = 0"

So the signs of the dH/dlambda are opposite while using particle decomposition.
There is no such problem while running VdW transformation.
Is it a Gromacs bug or I'm doing something wrong?
With best regards,
