No, they weren't. See
http://www.gromacs.org/Documentation/How-tos/Single-Point_Energy
You cannot hope to reproduce accurately the energy of a configuration if
you let the coordinates be manipulated.
The "rerun" option is interesting - in my case however the potential energy
terms stayed identical but the kinetic term became zero.
If you are using an .xtc file for the rerun, this makes sense since the .xtc
does not store velocities and hence kinetic energy cannot be calculated.

Something you think is equivalent is not :-) Move to testing a system with
two lipids. Inspect all the logfile outputs very carefully for clues.
I totally agree :) So far I found out that for "no cut-off" simulation in
Gromacs, rather that specifying a large cut-off, it needs rlist=rvdw=rcoulomb=0 and
pbc=no along with ns_type=simple and nstlist=0 (according to the manual). I am running
various tests and will update if I find out what is causing the discrepancy.

Hi Justin,
I actually did :) but it ended up being bigger than 50 kb so it needed
moderator approval to show up. I was hoping it would've been released by
now. I'll attach a the details below.
Any help/hint is highly appreciated.

Details:
*1)* Both systems were prepared using VMD "membrane" package and then
waters were removed. I used Gromacs 4.6.1 and NAMD 2.9.
*2)* Simulations were run in vacuum as a single-point energy calculations
(0 step).
No, they weren't. See

PME was not used.
*3) *For Gromacs runs, pdb2gmx was used to prepare the system and the
output was saved as the pdb format. The mdp file:
integrator = md
nsteps = 0
nstlog = 1
nstlist = 1
ns_type = grid
rlist = 100.0
coulombtype = cut-off
rcoulomb = 100.0
rvdw = 100.0
pbc = no

The intra-molecule terms look fine. Since this is a lipid, there are
non-bonded interactions that are intra-molecule, so the non-bondeds also
seem fine.

Hi
I have set up two small systems, one with a single POPC lipid, and
another
system with 23 POPC's arranged as a lipid bilayer. I am hoping to do a
similar comparison as in Table 1 in the Par Bjelkmar et al paper
(porting
charmm ff to gromacs) for my systems. My main question is that for the
single POPC, all the potential energy terms match very well, but for the
membrane system the non-bonding terms differ significantly.
I am providing the full details below and greatly appreciate any hint
for
better comparison of the energies.
Thanks,
Reza Salari

1) Both systems were prepared using VMD "membrane" package:

It appears you hit "send" too early. Please provide the entirety of the
details you intended. Complete .mdp files and actual quantification of
the
differences you are observing are also very important.
