Hi,

I have handled with the metalloprotein that includes two zn2+ in the
active site by MCPB successfully,and performed 12 ns MD for
equilibration and 20 ns for production.The plots density, temperature,
total energy and backbone RMSD looks so well.When I ran the command
"$AMBERHOME/bin/MMPBSA.py -O -i mmpbsa.in -o FINAL_RESULTS_MMPBSA.dat
-sp 1err.solvated.prmtop -cp complex.prmtop -rp receptor.prmtop -lp
ligand.prmtop -y *.mdcrd",I encountered a problem:Although I have
obtained the prmtop of complex and which is solvated,I don't know how to
deal with two zn2+ whether regard as receptor or ligand.And how could I
get the correct receptor.prmtop and ligand.prmtop.

Best Regards

JiYuan
