Vorasit,

Just to ask the requisite questions before delving too far into problem
solving.
1. Since we know that your trajectory file does not have waters or ions,
does the parmtop file similarly not have waters or ions?
2. If so, have you tried manually to use ambpdb to create a pdb using
unsolvated crd files created in mm_pbsa and the parmtop without
solvent/ions?
3. Have you tried to visualize that pdb with a program like vmd,
spdbviewer, etc? If so, does it look alright?


Good luck,

Scott
