Hi Jason,

Thank you very much for your reply. Again, there is a problem, the chamber
program uses only charm formatted psf file. However, I generated .psf using
psfgen package and that .psf file is not compatible with chamber. Is there
any way to convert NAMD generated .psf to CHARMM generated psf.

These are following output that I got after running CHAMBER

At line 2785 of file psfprm.F90 (unit = 20, file =
'3zzb_protein_ligand_system_gc1.psf')
Fortran runtime error: Bad value during integer read


And my command line was

/home/sudipta/Downloads/amber12/bin/chamber -top
/home/sudipta/NUC_RECEPTOR/MISC/ff/toppar/top_all27_prot_na.rtf -top
/home/sudipta/WORK/FEP/SYSTEM_3JZC/top_thyroid.inp -param
par_all27_prot_na.prm -param par_thyroid.inp -psf
3zzb_protein_ligand_system_gc1.psf -crd 3zzb_protein_ligand_system_gc1.pdb
-p 3jzb_test.prmtop -inpcrd 3jzb_test.inpcrd -cmap
