AMBER: High Standard Deviation for nmode (TSVIB) mm_pbsa

Hi All,

I performed some mm-pbsa calculations on my protein-ligand system (ligand is
a small organic molecule) of ~3700 atoms .The MD was run on the solvated
system for 2ns post 1000 steps of minimization (the system gets equilibrated
after 400ps), such 4 other systems have been subjected to post-MD mm-pbsa
calculations.
I am worried about the huge TSVIB standard deviation for all the nmode
calculations, I don't believe that such a large STD makes the results
reliable. Also, as this influences the TSTOTAL, which always seems to be
more negative than the PBTOT resulting in a positive deltaG-bind.I get
similar high STDs for the other four calculations as well!
I generated snapshots from the last 200ps with NFREQ=20, hence the nmode
calculations were done over 11 snapshots. I tried genearting snapshots from
a smaller timeframe such as 50ps with NFREQ=10 to generate 6 snapshots, but
the problem persists.

My NMode script is :


ismem 1
DIELC 4
t 310
MAXCYC 1000
DRMS 0.1

Thanks in advance.
Any ideas or suggestions on this?
