Dear AMBERThanks so much for your help.In fact, I found I made a mistake in my prmtop files.I was wondering,  the following masks in the output dat file of MMPBSA.py calculation have been taken based on which prmtop file (Complex,Solvated Complex, or simulation.mdcrd file) in case, these files are not have the same residues in the same order.
|Best guess for receptor mask:   ":1-176"|Best guess for  ligand  mask:   ":177"|Ligand residue name is "X1"
In other words, is it a problem if my solvated_complex.prmtop doesn't have the same sequential residues as in complex.prmtop, where there are some water molecules between the end of the receptor and the ligand, but I removed these water molecules and rebuilt my complex.prmtop but all my mdcrd data has been generated based on solvate_complex.prmtop with water between receptor and ligand.I think MMPBSA.py uses ptraj to extract snapshots from mdcrd and then strip out the water molecules, so in this case there will no be a difference between my prmtop files, am I right?Thanks again for your help.Sincerely;S. Bill

Try visualizing your system.  Look at the mdcrd files created by
MMPBSA.py in some type of visualization program with the corresponding
prmtop files (VMD works well).  This result is probably due to the
fact that the prmtop files and coordinate files are not matching up
(so if you try to visualize them, you will get a mess).

Good luck!
Jason
