[AMBER] about print_res in MMPBSA.py

Hello,

I want to calculate the pairwise energy decomposition between the ligand
and every residue within 3 Ang. So I have 2 questions in this regard.

1) how to find ONLY the PROTEIN residues that are within 3 Ang. from the
ligand?
2) how to calculate the pairwise energy decomposition using only pairs that
contain the ligand in order to speed up the calculations?

For 1) I tried to extract the last frame of the trajectory as rst file like
this:

cpptraj -p complex.prmtop
> trajin complex.prod_GB.nc lastframe
> trajout last_frm.rst
> go
> quit


and then use ambmask to find the closest residues like this:

​​
> ambmask -p complex.prmtop -c last_frm.rst -out short -find ":LIG | ((:LIG
> <:3) &
> :ALA,ARG,ASN,ASP,ASD,CYS,GLH,GLN,GLY,HIS,HIP,HIE,HID,ILE,LEU,LYS,MET,PHE,PRO,SER,THR,TRP,TYR,VAL)"
> |& grep -A1000 "Condensed format of the atom selection follows:" | awk
> 'NR>1' | perl -p -e "s/\n/ /g" | sed -e 's/://g' | perl -p -e
> "s/([0-9])\s+([0-9])/\1, \2/g"


the above works well for .inpcrd files generated with tleap but not for the
.rst files written by cpptraj. ambmask prints out instead the following:

| New format PARM file being parsed.
> | Version = 1.000 Date = 09/06/16 Time = 16:34:32
> natom = 5633
> nres = 356
> STOP error reading natom from inpcrd


About 2) I have no idea, I just put the closest residues and the ligand
after "print_res=" and MMPBSA.py calculates all pairwise energy
decompositions. If someone knows a faster solution for problems 1) and 2)
please share it on the list.

​Thanks in advance for any advice.
Thomas​
