​This is an incomplete input file that shouldn't run in MMPBSA.py.
Assuming that you had &general at the top and a / closing the &gb namelist,
it would work.

​Because it is highly negatively charged. Like charges repel (and are
unfavorable), so DNA interacting with itself is highly unfavorable in the
gas phase assuming deprotonated phosphates. Solvation forces mitigate this
unfavorable interaction (which is why EGB will be negative for the free
DNA). EGB often offsets EEL.

EGB is positive in Delta (does it imply insoluble nature of complex??)

​No, simply that the complex is less soluble than the separate protein and
DNA. Which shouldn't come as much of a surprise given the high solubility
of DNA.
