I have checked strip_mask and I saw that Mg atom was in the list. After removing it from list the results are acceptable now. Thank you Mr. Swails and Mr. Case.

Also try visualizing the trajectories that were generated by MMPBSA.py with
the corresponding topology files.  My guess is that they will look very
warped.

Common things that can happen and to look out for: look at strip_mask
(particularly the default value listed in the manual).  Do you have ions
(or anything else) that you _expect_ to be stripped out that are not
specified by that strip_mask?  If so, you will have to specify a strip_mask
to properly remove them.  Do you have any waters or ions or anything else
in your complex topology file that is included in strip_mask?  If so, then
this molecule is being stripped out of the trajectories, which can lead to
these errors.  You'll have to redefine strip_mask to omit the residues that
you want to keep.

The topology files themselves appear to be OK since the default mask
guesser didn't complain about anything (in this version, as long as
MMPBSA.py properly guesses the receptor and ligand masks, it will also
check for charge consistency -- the next version will check for charge
consistency in every case).

Another thing you can check is to set "netcdf=1" in the &general section --
this will generate NetCDF intermediate trajectories which have more
information than their ASCII counterparts (including the number of atoms
present in the trajectory).  This provides another layer of error checking.
This way, you'll be able to see exactly how many extra (or how many fewer)
atoms your trajectory has compared to your topologies (ncdump is a useful
utility to look at the contents of a NetCDF file).

HTH,
Jason
