[AMBER] Decomposing the free energy contributions to the binding free energy

Dear AMBER users,

I have some questions about AMBER tutorial A3, mainly about decomposition
of free energy.

1.) I did exactly the same decomposition of binding energy of RAS-RAF, as
described on section 3.6 for Per-residue decomposition, but taking into
account all residues of the receptor and the ligand too. I expected, that
the sum of TOTAL energies for residues (from FINAL_DECOMP_MMPBSA.dat) will
got the binding free energy (from FINAL_RESULTS_MMPBSA.dat). This is true
for GB, but not for PB method.

Could somebody explain me why?

2.) I tried to do the same work with AMBER12, but every time I've got an
error.

AMBER11 did the work with exactly the same ras-raf.prmtop.

Could somebody tell me what to do?

Thanks,
Robert Deak
