Hi Scott,
Yes, I stripped water from top file, and No, manually using ambpdb on snapshot file also didn't work. For the last question, If you mean the pdb that I used to make unsolvated topology file, it work just fine on rasmol, moilview and xleap. Does vmd tell any difference from those program ?

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

Yes, they contain the same number of atom. Thank you.

are not able to generate a pdb file at this step already indicates a problem
(and it is not astonishing that mm_pbsa "further down" also fails). As an
initial check - are the number of atoms in both the topology and coordinate
files you use here the same?
