If you set imin = 5 and maxcyc = 1, then you will get the single point
energies for every snapshot of a trajectory. You will have to post-process
the output file yourself, since neither MM/PBSA program is equipped to parse
a QM/MM mdout file.

If you are using Amber 11, scnb and scee have been removed as namelist
options (they're in the prmtop now)

All the best,
