George,

Each subunit consists of 125 residues (subA residues 1-125, subB residues:

I'm confused by the numbering of your atoms- shouldn't subB be 127-251, and
the second ligand at 252? You may want to double check, since that's what
could be throwing it off.

But you can try-

ante-mmpbsa.py -p complex_solv.prmtop -c subA-subB.prmtop -r subA.prmtop -l
subB.prmtop -s :WAT,:Na+ -n :1-126,:253 --radii=mbondi2

Which should give you the subunits with the ligands and water molecules,
assuming that 253 is the corresponding water for the first subunit. I can't
speak for the syntax error, though.


For the second case, which looks like you want both dimers without their
respective water molecules and ligands? If so, you can try-

ante-mmpbsa.py -p complex_solv.prmtop -c subA-subB.prmtop -r subA.prmtop -l
subB.prmtop -s :WAT,:Na+,:126,:252,:253-254 -n :1-125 --radii=mbondi2

Best,

Kenneth
