 I am a new Amber8 user. In amber 8 manual , I find there is only TI in amber 8 ,but FEP can not be used. What I said is true? When following the FEP/TI example" Valine to Alaine Free Energy determination" in internet web, But I can not get the right result. I think there are some errors in my frcmod file (I don’t know the 2nd and 5th column item meaning )and the operation in Xleap (especially the charge item). There are two files as follow:
 (1)Frcmod file :

 (2)the essential content in xleap
 In conpute the delta.charge. I use Val system to minus Ala system(the essential mutation is CH(CH3)2 in Val to CH3 in Ala). In  Amber 8 topo-base I get the Ala charge .CH3(-0.1825,  0.0603,  0.0603,  0.0603), so for example: the first delta.charge = 0.2985-(-0.1825)= 0.491.

 Follow the ideal above, But I gain a wrong result ,DV/DL approximately equal to 110. I don’t know how to correct it. Please give me some suggestions for this question .
 thank you in advance
