Re: [AMBER] MMPBSA.py energy decomposition inconsistencies

I am combining different force fields for the system I am studying: parm99SB+bsc0 for the receptor and a tailored ff for the ligand that is using different 1-4 scaling factors (SCEE=1.0 and SCNB=1.0). I was very careful about setting it up and used the most recent version of tleap to have the different values for SCEE and SCNB written into the topology files.

Could this be the source for the large difference in the calculation?

Anybody experienced a similar behavior?
