Dear Dr. Markus and Dr. Jason
Thanks for both of you for replying.
Indeed, this is the first time for me to run this type of calculation, so bear with me, please.
In GBSA, surface area should be calculated, shouldn't it?
where, gbsa = 0 asks for no computation of the surface area.
For QM/MM-GBSA calculation, there are two ways to run it:
1- To extract the snapshots using ptraj and then to run minimization of each structure using imin=1,maxcyc=0
2- To use imin = 5 and maxcyc = 1 on the trajactory.
I tried the 2nd way, but the job killed without any error:
sander.MPI -O -i QMMM-GBSA.in -o QMMM-GBSA.out -p XXX.prmtop -y XXX.mdcrd

Is there any tutorial on post-process methodology? or at least give me any hint please.

Thanks and sorry for my naive question
Merry xmas
Eliac
