Dear Carlos,

Thank you very much for your reply.
And I am sorry not to explain my modified topology file.

(But didn't you receive the attached file in the previous E-mail?
 Does AMBER-mailing-list not send the attached file?)

O.K., I will explain here.

"Original" topology file is from PDB file below, by Leap module.

---------wat2.pdb------------------------------------
REMARK TP3
ATOM 1 O WAT 1 0.000 0.000 0.000
ATOM 2 H1 WAT 1 0.957 0.000 0.000
ATOM 3 H2 WAT 1 -0.240 0.927 0.000
TER
ATOM 1 O WAT 2 0.000 0.000 4.000
ATOM 2 H1 WAT 2 0.957 0.000 4.000
ATOM 3 H2 WAT 2 -0.240 0.927 4.000
END
------------------------------------------------------

--------command------------------
tleap -s -f leaprc.ff99SB
f = loadpdb "wat2.pdb"
saveamberparm f org.top org.crd
quit
--------------------------------

"Modified" version is by my manual change to ignore the nonbonded
interactions between 2 waters. I only changed topology file, not
coordinate file. Please see the 2 files below.

>i'm not sure why you say sander does not work

This means that...
 sander -O -i min.in -o min_org.out -p org.top -c org.crd
 sander -O -i min.in -o min_mod.out -p mod.top -c org.crd

and I run diff command between min_org.out and min_mod.out,
but they are the same except for time information e.t.c..

Although When I run diff command between anal_org.out and
anal_mod.out below, Anal says that nonbonded interaction
energies of modified topology file is not the same as the
original, there is no interaction between wat1 and wat2 in
the modified.

 anal -O -i anal.in -o anal_org.out -p org.top -c org.crd
 anal -O -i anal.in -o anal_mod.out -p mod.top -c org.crd

Best Regards,
Akihiro Yokota

i'm not sure why you say sander does not work- please explain what you did
and what the result is. you only specified for anal.
what are the "original" and "modified" versions?
