Dear Jason,

Thank you so much for your reply. The version is:

Version is reported as <version>.<patches applied>

        AmberTools version 14.27
             Amber version 14.12

Could you please help me to diagnose these issues? I can send you the PDB
and prmtop files if that helps to diagnose any problems. I have tried every
other resources and helps around campus and apparently everybody told me to
restart the process again, which I don't see the point here. So any input
from your side would be highly appreciated.

Jag
