Hi all,

I am using Gibbs to determine deltadeltaG values for a ligand in a
binding pocket. I performed a production run over 1ns with sander8, and
I used this as my input file:

production run with shake and PME
&cntrl

imin = 0

irest = 0

nstlim = 500000

dt = 0.002

ntx = 1

ntt =1, tempi = 300.0, temp0 = 300.0
ntc = 2, ntf = 2, tol = 0.00001
iwrap =1
scee = 1.2, scnb = 2.0
nscm = 1000
ntp = 1, pres0 = 1

ntb = 2

ntpr = 1

ntwx = 500
ntwv = 500

&end

and this is the result of the last step:

  NSTEP = 500000 TIME(PS) = 1019.000 TEMP(K) =299.73 PRESS = 305.9
  Etot = -63506.5613 EKtot =17419.5551 EPtot = -80926.1163
  BOND = 864.0087 ANGLE = 2471.8473 DIHED = 3277.2654
  1-4 NB = 1068.2128 1-4 EEL = 11646.7813 VDWAALS = 8378.9045
  EELEC = -108633.1363 EHBOND = 0.0000 RESTRAINT = 0.0000
  EKCMT = 7024.9388 VIRIAL =5189.2159 VOLUME = 277933.3957
                                             Density = 1.0395

As far as I can tell, this looks ok.


Now, for gibbs (from amber7), I use this as an input file:
gibbs input, namelist format
  &cntrl
   ntx = 1,
   ntb = 2,
   ntp = 1,
   ntt = 5,
   temp0 = 300.0,
   dt = 0.001,
   nstlim = 1000,
   nstmeq = 300,
   nstmul = 700,
   ntc = 2, ntf = 2,
   intprt=1,
   nsnb = 5,
   scnb = 2.0, scee = 1.2,
   ntpr = 50,
   nrun = 11,
   almda = 1.0,
   almdel = 0.1,
   isldyn = -3,
   ielper = 0,
  &end

  First I encountered problems with the formatted read in (ntx=7, as
after an MD run with constant pressure and periodic boundaries): Gibbs
terminated with the error
Input/Output Error 140: Invalid integer

     !

Does this mean, it has no velocity info? I picked one specific frame
from the produciton run (using VMD), how can I get the velocity info for
this particular frame?
As a qick and dirty method, I used ntx =1. Then gibbs runs for a while,
but stops after 150 steps (although the process is still active), and
the output file looks like this:

Could anyone please give me some hints on what the problem is?

Thanks a lot in advance,
