Re: detecting vanishing atoms in zero.fep

Your question seems entirely dependent on the problem under consideration.

Atoms with a flag of 1 get scaled as a function of alchLambda while those
with a flag of -1 get scaled as a function of 1-alchLambda. If you swap the
groups you just change the sign of the free energy that is computed, so
this is somewhat arbitrary and/or a matter of bookkeeping.
