Hi George,

Like you pointed out, this is not a fatal warning. It would have been a
fatal warning if not all of your prmtop files were created with the same PB
Radii set (if this were the case, your results would have been
meaningless!). In my experience, mbondi and mbondi2 radiis are similar,
though not identical. Each GB model was parameterized with a specific
radius set, which is why that radius set is suggested for use with that gb
model.

This is not a flag in the MMPBSA calculation, but rather a parameter set in
leap when you create the prmtop files. See the command

set default pbradii _______

in leap. The default is mbondi, so if you didn't specify one, that's why it
is mbondi. Specifying mbondi2 will get rid of this warning. You can re-run
a couple of frames using mbondi2 and compare the results obtained from
mbondi if you would like, but because mbondi and mbondi2 are similar, and
the delta G is calculated as a difference, I'm guessing the effect in this
case will be minimal.

Hope this helps,
Jason
