Hello,
These results are obtained because no complex or receptor frame was
minimized within tolerable limits, so no nmode calculations were
actually done (except for the ligand). This is fixed in the version
that will be released on the web next in that it will not print a
table of -1's (which is what the average function returns as an error
for an empty set of values). I suggest you increase maxcyc in nmode
to something much much greater. You can get an idea of what it should
be by looking at the minimization mdout files that MMPBSA creates, and
estimating how many more steps would be needed to converge the
geometry to something tolerable.
Good luck!
Jason
