Re: [AMBER] Error with MM-PBSA perl file for pairwise residue decomposition

Have you tried running the calculation on only a few frames, just to make
sure it will work? I would say if it works on only a few frames, then it
would appear to be a memory issue, but if it will not work for only a few
frames, then the issue is something else entirely. Just a suggestion.
