Re: AMBER: Is there any way I can extract the potential energy of the solute with the solvent instead of the total energy in Amber?

Hello,

MMPBSA is suited for this sort of calculations. You will need a
topology of your solute (without water box). You might have a look on
the manual for making your script.

Hope this will help you
