Re: [AMBER] inconsistent results in MMPBSA w/o energy decomposition

I have Mg in my system (not ligand) but as you mentioned they should all be
stripped out in MMPBSA calculation and dry complex, receptor files are both
Mg free. Also my gb calculations are consistent. So the "strip_mask" should
be fine.
So what else should I check? Thanks.
