Hi all
when I did practise using mm_pbsa.pl to calculate the free energy of the complex ras-raf 
provided by amber itself, setting MS=0, PB=1, I found some phenomena puzzled me!
1.there was not area surface term in the ras_raf_II_wt_com.all.out file, 
1
 BOND    =      693.4575  ANGLE   =     1895.7111  DIHED      =     1478.8198
 VDWAALS =    -1974.0288  EEL     =   -17194.5212  HBOND      =        0.0000
 1-4 VDW =      866.5634  1-4 EEL =     7173.9328  RESTRAINT  =        0.0000
corrected reaction field energy:    -6656.288058
 ECAVITY =       91.5523  EDISPER =        0.0000
and in the final log file the  following warning existed
=>> Reading files
    Reading ras_raf_II_wt_com.all.out
    WARNING: Missing SURF for MS in 0 -> Taken from -1
    WARNING: Missing SURF for MS in 1 -> Taken from 0
    WARNING: Missing SURF for MS in 2 -> Taken from 1
    WARNING: Missing SURF for MS in 3 -> Taken from 2
   
 although the situation mentioned above existed, the ras_raf_II_wt_statistics.out file 
could still be obtained.
#                  MEAN        STD
#          =======================
ELE            -9997.78      32.24
VDW            -1109.05       8.26
INT             4062.38      24.18
GAS            -7044.46      34.03
PBSUR             91.55       0.13
PBCAL          -4003.86      31.15
PBSOL          -3912.32      31.17
PBELE         -14001.65      31.14
PBTOT         -10956.78      20.92
 However, when you set MS=1 or (MS=0, GB=1), the area surface both existed in the 
ras_raf_II_wt_com.all.out file.
2. when you tried to calculate the binding free energy, setting MS=0 PB=1 the procedure 
stopped at
"=>> Calc delta from raw data
    No data for 0+0 MS SURF 0 "
Now my questions are following:
1.Can the PBSA procedure generate the molecular surface automatically? If it can why 
it doesn't shown in the ras_raf_II_wt_com.all.out file and give the warning mentioned above 
and interrupted the binding energy calculation, if not how does the value of PBSUR in the 
ras_raf_II_wt_statistics.out get?
2.what should I do if I want to calculate the binding free energy with MS=0 PB=1. I have to 
do it because my system studying have F elements while I don't know the radius parameter.
Best wishes!
Paul Tao
