It seems that the defined U_sterics_quad here was not consistent with the Eq. 1.3 of S1 in Supporting Information of JCTC 8, (2012): 2373-2382.
By the way, actually the alchemical transformation designed here is two-step protocol (usually named stepwise protocol in RBFE calculations). If using softcore potential for electrostatic interactions as defined in the above mentioned JCTC paper, the one-step protocol (also named concerted protocol) can be implemented? If not, are there some obstacles on implementing it?
Dear OpenFE team developers,
` def _nonbonded_custom(self, v2): """ Get a part of the nonbonded energy expression when there is no cutoff.

It seems that the defined

Thanks for your reply in advance.
