AMBER: total energy in sander and nmode

Hello,

I try to do a minimization on a small molecule in explicit solvent. After
a first minimization with SANDER, I find :

   NSTEP ENERGY RMS GMAX NAME NUMBER
 500000 -3.4847E+03 3.3080E-03 4.2776E-02 O 311

 BOND = 276.4991 ANGLE = 10.1375 DIHED = 32.7968
 VDWAALS = 803.1828 EEL = -4420.2975 HBOND = 0.0000
 1-4 VDW = 15.3511 1-4 EEL = -202.3743 RESTRAINT = 0.0000

with the input :

&cntrl
  imin = 1,
  maxcyc = 500000,
  ncyc = 500000,
  ntb = 1,
  cut = 8
 /

But when I try to obtain a refinement by Newton-Raphson in NMODE, the
total energy changes :

 F = -0.403742E+04 GRDMAX = 0.217857E+02 GNORM = 0.466710E+01
       E-NONB E-ELE E-HBOND E-BOND
     0.80101E+03 -0.51059E+04 0.00000E+00 0.27650E+03
       E-ANGLE E-DIHED E-NB14 E-EEL14
     0.10138E+02 0.32797E+02 0.15351E+02 -0.67302E+02
       E-POL E-3BOD
     0.00000E+00 0.00000E+00

with the input :

 &data
  ntrun = 4,
  maxcyc = 500,
  drms = 0.001,
  scee = 1.2,
  cut = 8
 /

It seems the difference comes from EEL and 1-4EEL....
Do you know what can explain this difference ?

Thanks,
Marie
