Hello,

The info about input files is given here
http://archive.ambermd.org/201207/0008.html

I striped C and D from the trajectories and used receptor prmtop (made of
residues A ) and ligand prmtop made from residues B only.... complex had
both. I get following message


ptraj found! Using /home/ksahu/src/Xtruct/trunk/amber_10_install/bin/ptraj
sander found! Using /home/ksahu/src/Xtruct/trunk/amber_10_install/bin/sander

Preparing trajectories with ptraj...
Error! Ptraj failed. Check coordinate and topology files for the complex.


If I dont strip ligands C and D (both small molecules present in 4E1M.pdb),
then I get following message



ptraj found! Using /home/ksahu/src/Xtruct/trunk/amber_10_install/bin/ptraj
sander found! Using /home/ksahu/src/Xtruct/trunk/amber_10_install/bin/sander

Preparing trajectories with ptraj...
50 frames were read in and processed by ptraj for use in calculation.

Starting gb calculation...

Error: Sander output is missing values!
VDWAALS = ************* EEL = -23008.7269 EGB = -3393.3682



binding energy calculation is successful when I use residues A, C and D to
make receptor.prmtop and residue B to make ligand.prmtop (complex
containing all ABCD). What I want MMPBSA.py to calculate is binding
energies between A and B ignoring C and D ( trajectories have C and D also
.... I already have the binding energies of A and B from trajectories where
C and D small molecules were absent ... I am using amber 10)

Thank you for your support
Regards,
kamlesh
