Hi, all- There are some issues with MTTK + constraints that are being worked out for 4.6. The good thing is, I have developed some sensitive tests of the correct volume distribution (see http://arxiv.org/abs/1208.0910) and the errors in PR are very, very small. I would recommend using md + PR for

Re: [gmx-users] BAR gives different result than TI

The implementation of BAR in gromacs is pretty hard for me to follow because of how everything is stored noncompactly in the histogram. In 4.6, both can be computed from the same dhdl.xvg file, so it might be easier to track down possible bugs. On Fri, Jun 29, 2012 at 2:24 PM, David van der Spoel
