Hi all,

I'm using nmode() to calculate entropy for protein-ligand complex. I got
results successfully but some of them has additional line seen in below:
==========================================================
                - Thermochemistry -

Temperature: 298.150
   Pressure: 1.000

==========================================================

Is this a big problem I need to solve before I use the data? I read a
little bit it seems that it indicates the protein is in some sort of
transition state...? I used xmin() to minimize the protein to grms of
0.001. I also browsed amber mailing list and in a post from 2009, somebody
suggested that ntrun() set to 0 could solve problem. My nmode() function is
set as:
nmode(xyz,3*natm,mme2,0,0,0.0,0.0,0); where ntrun() is already set to 0.0.

Any idea or something important I missed?
Thanks a lot for your time!

Best,
Guqin
