Hi Amber users.
I've a crystallographic structure that involve an homodimeric enzyme, where
each monomer have two molecules of MgATP binding to it, one of this
correspond to the phosphoryl donor (MgATP catalytic) and the other one acts
as inhibithor of the enzymatic activity (MgATP allosteric). Also, each
monomer has an ion site near the two binding sites for MgATP. Kinetic
studies has revealed that pottasium bound to this site increases the
affinity for MgATP allosteric and the enzymatic inhibition. So, I'm
interested in calculate the binding energy for MgATP allosteric with and
without potassium bound to the ion site, using the method MM-PBSA, with one
minimized structure with explicit solvent, as described in this paper "J
Comput Chem 31: 797-810, 2010".
The prmtop file for the complex has the enzyme, with the four MgATP and the
two potassium ions.
The prmtop file of the receptor has the enzyme with the two MgATP catalytic
and thw two pottasium.
The prmtop file for the ligand has the two MgATP allosteric.
I only include the crystallographic waters in the files for the
minimization, also this file include the counter ions for neutralization.
I only use the last frame of the trajectory file (minimization.mdcrd) for
the calculations.
When I run MM-PBSA (MMPBSA.py) in amber11, the output file has no values of
binding free energy. This is the output file:

Can anyone tell me what i'm doing wrong? or some suggestion?

Thanks in advance.
