Re: [AMBER] Problem in nmode analysis by NAB

Hello Mr. Jason,
                       In MMPBSA.py command line there is no -p flag
to specify prmtop file. The system I am using is a protein only, not a
complex. It is a metalloprotein. Here I have used -cp flag to
introduce prmtop file. Can I use it safely?
