Hi,

I make a MM_PB/GBSA analysis of a protein ligand complex. I performed a
calculation without normal mode analysis and it worked fine. But if i use the
same input file and switch nmode to 1 i get the error: Param DIELC does not
exist. This parameter is set to 1.0 in the MM part of the input file. What's
the problem? I attached the mmpbsa input file and the log file.

Best regards,
Hannes Wallnoefer

# General parameters
# 0: means NO; >0: means YES
#
# mm_pbsa allows to calculate (absolute) free energies for one molecular
# species or a free energy difference according to:
#
# Receptor + Ligand = Complex,
# DeltaG = G(Complex) - G(Receptor) - G(Ligand).
#
# PREFIX - To the prefix, "{_com, _rec, _lig}.crd.Number" is added during
# generation of snapshots as well as during mm_pbsa calculations.
# PATH - Specifies the location where to store or get snapshots.
#
# COMPLEX - Set to 1 if free energy difference is calculated.
# RECEPTOR - Set to 1 if either (absolute) free energy or free energy
# difference are calculated.
# LIGAND - Set to 1 if free energy difference is calculated.
#
# COMPT - parmtop file for the complex (not necessary for option GC).
# RECPT - parmtop file for the receptor (not necessary for option GC).
# LIGPT - parmtop file for the ligand (not necessary for option GC).
#
# GC - Snapshots are generated from trajectories (see below).
# AS - Residues are mutated during generation of snapshots from trajectories.
# DC - Decompose the free energies into individual contributions
# (only works with MM and GB).
#
# MM - Calculation of gas phase energies using sander.
# GB - Calculation of desolvation free energies using the GB models in sander
# (see below).
# PB - Calculation of desolvation free energies using delphi (see below).
# Calculation of nonpolar solvation free energies according to
# the NPOPT option in pbsa (see below).
# MS - Calculation of nonpolar contributions to desolvation using molsurf
# (see below).
# If MS == 0 and GB == 1, nonpolar contributions are calculated with the
# LCPO method in sander.
# If MS == 0 and PB == 1, nonpolar contributions are calculated according
# the NPOPT option in pbsa (see below).
# NM - Calculation of entropies with nmode.

#
# PB parameters (this section is only relevant if PB = 1 above)
#
# The following parameters are passed to the PB solver.
# Additional input parameters may also be added here. See the sander PB
# documentation for more options.
#
# PROC - Determines which method is used for solving the PB equation:
# By default, PROC = 2, the pbsa program of the AMBER suite is used.
# REFE - Determines which reference state is taken for PB calc:
# By default, REFE = 0, reaction field energy is calculated with
# EXDI/INDI. Here, INDI must agree with DIELC from MM part.
# INDI - Dielectric constant for the solute.
# EXDI - Dielectric constant for the surrounding solvent.
# ISTRNG - Ionic strength (in mM) for the Poisson-Boltzmann solvent.
# PRBRAD - Solvent probe radius in Angstrom:
# 1.4: with the radii in the prmtop files. Default.
# 1.6: with the radii optimized by Tan and Luo (In preparation).
# See RADIOPT on how to choose a cavity radii set.
# RADIOPT - Option to set up radii for PB calc:
# 0: uses the radii from the prmtop file. Default.
# 1: uses the radii optimized by Tan and Luo (In preparation)
# with respect to the reaction field energies computed
# in the TIP3P explicit solvents. Note that optimized radii
# are based on AMBER atom types (upper case) and charges.
# Radii from the prmtop files are used if the atom types
# are defined by antechamber (lower case).
# SCALE - Lattice spacing in no. of grids per Angstrom.
# LINIT - No. of iterations with linear PB equation.
#
# NP Parameters for nonpolar solvation energies if MS = 0
#
# NPOPT - Option for modeling nonpolar solvation free energy.
# See sander PB documentation for more information on the
# implementations by Tan and Luo (In preparation).
# 1: uses the solvent-accessible-surface area to correlate total
# nonpolar solvation free energy:
# Gnp = CAVITY_SURFTEN * SASA + CAVITY_OFFSET. Default.
# 2: uses the solvent-accessible-surface area to correlate the
# repulsive (cavity) term only, and uses a surface-integration
# approach to compute the attractive (dispersion) term:
# Gnp = Gdisp + Gcavity
# = Gdisp + CAVITY_SURFTEN * SASA + CAVITY_OFFSET.
# When this option is used, RADIOPT has to be set to 1,
# i.e. the radii set optimized by Tan and Luo to mimic Gnp
# in TIP3P explicit solvents. Otherwise, there is no guarantee
# that Gnp matches that in explicit solvents.
# CAVITY_SURFTEN/CAVITY_OFFSET - Values used to compute the nonpolar
# solvation free energy Gnp according NPOPT. The default values
# are for NPOPT set to 0 and RADIOPT set to 0 (see above).
# If NPOPT is set to 1 and RADIOPT set to 1, these two lines
# can be removed, i.e. use the default values set in pbsa
# for this nonpolar solvation model. Otherwise, please
# set these to the following:
# CAVITY_SURFTEN: 0.04356
# CAVITY_OFFSET: -1.008
#
# NP Parameters for nonpolar solvation energies if MS = 1
#
# SURFTEN/SURFOFF - Values used to compute the nonpolar contribution Gnp to
# the desolvation according to Gnp = SURFTEN * SASA + SURFOFF.
