Dear Amber Users,
                  I am trying to calculate the free energy of a
protein-peptide system using mmpbsa.py script from Amber12.

My input script file for the purpose is the following.

sample input file for MM-GBSA calculation and DECOMPOSITION
&general
startframe=1, endframe=50000, interval=10,
verbose=2, keep_files=2,
/
&gb
igb=2, saltcon=0.100,
/
&decomp
idecomp=2,
dec_verbose=0,
csv_format=0,
/

The calculation goes on fine. The final statistics is as follows.

|MMPBSA.py Version=12.0
|Complex topology file: ../../complex.parmtop
|Receptor topology file: ../../protein.parmtop
|Ligand topology file: ../../peptide.parmtop
|Initial mdcrd(s):
../../../centering/prod_cen_strip_sol_ion.mdcrd
|
|Receptor mask: ":1-189"
|Ligand mask: ":190-203"
|
|Calculations performed using 5000 complex frames.
|
|All units are reported in kcal/mole.

The "DELTA TOTAL" value for the complex and ligand doesn't look
correct to me. The energy values are positive and the standard
deviations are huge. The same values for the Receptors and finally for
the Differences (Complex - Receptor - Ligand) looks fine.

Is there anything wrong with the calculation or is there something I
am missing??

Will be glad if someone can kindly help me out with this.

Thank you,
Dilraj.
