Wenhao,

If you use PBC and PME electrostatics, the ion interacts with its
periodic images. In FEP, this counts as a self-interaction within the

In this case, because there is only ion in the box to perturb thus there is no subset atom, therefore, the value of "alchDecouple" should not be different, is it right? But when I try both "on" and "off", I found a different about 6~7 kcal/mol between these two value. So can anyone point out my fault?
