Dear Ray,
        I repeat my problem again in detail. I am a user of Amber11 and use Amber tools11. Try to calculate electrostatic potential surface using PBSA and hence follow section 7.3.2 of Amber tools11. I use the following comman-
pbsa –O –i mdin –o mdout –p prmtop –c inpcrd
The problem is that the pbsa.phi (renamed as 1VJ5pbsa.phi) file generated is not loaded in PyMol. But using the same mdin, prmtop and inpcrd file Qin generate a pbsa.phi file in Amber11 and this pbsa.phi is successfully loaded in PyMol. Qin suggested that the two pbsa.phi files are apparently different, but the difference between them is not clear. I analyzed two mdout file (generated by me and Qin) and found some difference between them. Some portion of these differences is given below-

Many parameters is absent in my mdout file. While Qin and I both use the same mdin, prmtop, inpcrd and same version of amber, why this difference arises? What is the problem associated with my pbsa.phi (1VJ5pbsa.phi). Qin said to forward this problem to Wes. I attached two mdout (1VJ5mdout for my calculation and mdout for Qin calculation), prmtop, inpcrd, mdin and two pbsa.phi file with this mail. I think I express my problem properly. Please let me know about this problem. I am looking for your answer.

With Best Regards,
Sudarshan.
