[AMBER] Questions regarding MMPBSA.py

Dear Amber users,
                  I am currently familiarizing myself with the
MMPBSA.py script using Amber12. I have couple of queries in this regard.

FIRST:

There is an issue with the decomposition calculation.

My input script for the calculation is:

------------------------------------------------------------------
&general
startframe=1, endframe=10, interval=5,
verbose=2, keep_files=2,
/
&gb
igb=5, saltcon=0.150,
/
&decomp
idecomp=2, dec_verbose=0,
print_res="191-204"
/
---------------------------------------------------------------------

In this case, The GB calculation went of fine, but There was nothing
written on the decomp.out file and there is no specific error message.

Then I tried by removing the "print_res" parameter. This time, there
was an output written in the decomp.out file. But this looks very
strange as shown below:

I tried the same thing with AMBER11 and the calculations went of fine
with and without the "print_res" parameter.

-2.938 +/- 3.709
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So my question is, IS this an AMBER12 related issue or am I missing
something? Will be glad to hear about it.

SECOND:

I am also trying to do the alanine scanning. I could run a test
successfully with a single Alanine mutant. I was wandering if it is
possible to run a double alanine mutant? I read in the mailing list
that this is possible with MMPBSA.pl but not currently with MMPBSA.py.
Is this is the case? Is there a way around doing this?

Sorry for the long email.

Will be glad if someone can give me an insight into these issues.

Thank you,
Dilraj.
