Re: [AMBER] mmgbsa tricky output

There seems to be some inconsistency in your case labeled as "[A+C] +
B". In a single trajectory mmpbsa run, the INT DELTA energy is very
close to zero due to "perfect" cancellation between the internal energy
terms before and after binding. This is the case for case "[A+B] + C",
but not for "[A+C] + B". Another observation is that EEL DELTA should be
mostly canceled out by GB DELTA upon binding. Again, this is the case
for case "[A+B] + C", but not for "[A+C] + B". It might be that your
[A+C] and B trajectories were not generated properly. Visualization in
VMD always helps in this regards. If the trajectories are okay, you
might want to use one snapshot to run the job by hand to find out why ...

Good luck!
