Hi,again

   I think I met another problem about my topology file. I have tried
Dan's
suggestion, and I use cpptraj to get the amber topology file named
amber.prmtop:

parm chamber22gro.prmtop
parmwrite out amber.prmtop nochamber

And I want to test if these two topology files give the same energy
result
while calculating one step and the same structure's energy. I use one
rst file but I get
two different energy terms especially for 1-4NB:

chamber prmtop file output:
  NSTEP = 0 TIME(PS) = 4425.800 TEMP(K) = 450.19 PRESS =
    0.0
  Etot = -23837.0829 EKtot = 9030.7484 EPtot =
-32867.8313
  BOND = 35.5658 ANGLE = 64.1482 DIHED =
48.7545
  UB = 8.6678 IMP = 5.6328 CMAP =
-11.0822
  1-4 NB = 58.9498 1-4 EEL = 641.6152 VDWAALS =
3169.0844
  EELEC = -36889.1674 EHBOND = 0.0000 RESTRAINT =
0.0000
  Ewald error estimate: 0.1193E-04
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
amber prmtop file output:
  NSTEP = 0 TIME(PS) = 4425.800 TEMP(K) = 450.19 PRESS =
    0.0
  Etot = -23759.2938 EKtot = 9030.7484 EPtot =
-32790.0421
  BOND = 35.5658 ANGLE = 64.1482 DIHED =
48.7545
  1-4 NB = 139.9570 1-4 EEL = 641.6152 VDWAALS =
3169.0844
  EELEC = -36889.1672 EHBOND = 0.0000 RESTRAINT =
0.0000
  Ewald error estimate: 0.1193E-04

So as you will see, their 1-4NB energy have the difference value of 81
kcal/mol. This value
is quite large so I have no idea which prmtop file should be chosen to
run my MD simulation
and why their results have such a big difference?
I packed my results as appendix, hoping helpful.

hope for reply!Thanks a lot~~
