Simplest way I can think of is to disable it inside mmpbsa_entropy.nab
itself. If you comment out lines 69 and 100 (the calls to "xmin"), the
minimization step should be skipped. (Then, of course, reinstall MMPBSA.py,
which should be as simple as running "make install" inside the
$AMBERHOME/AmberTools/src/mmpbsa_py directory after configuring in serial.)
That said, if you are doing the minimization outside of MMPBSA.py,
shouldn't you already be close to a minimum? That is unless you're using a
different Hamiltonian to minimize, in which case your minimization won't
get you to the point where your low-frequency modes are accurate (or even
real).
