Dear Bill,
          Thank you for responding. Well my system comprises of 190
residues with a total of 3112 atoms. I believe this is still a
relatively small system and I am performing the calculation in only 2
frames. So I am expecting this not to take so long (>10 hours of CPU
time).

Ok the long calculation time is one problem. The other problem is that
I am getting an Index error as mentioned below.

--------------------------------------------------------------

IndexError: list index out of range
--------------------------------------------------------------------

I went through the mailing list to get an idea and people seem to have
this error message. Some have issues with defining the receptor or
ligand mask whereas other discussion is around Bugfix.

I think my issue is not with defining the mask as I can see from the
output file that the program has rightly guessed the receptor and
ligand mask.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well so what could be the possible reason? Can someone please help me
out with both these issues.

1) The long time for NMODE calculation with MMPBSA.py and

2) The Index error.

Thank you,
Dilraj.
