Hi
Many thanks for the reply. Regarding the preparation of files for my small ligand I followed the tutorial4b for generation of small molecule parameters using antechamber (http://ambermd.org/tutorials/basic/tutorial4b/), I created the *.prmtop and *.inpcrd files for my ligand. However, by using the MM-PBSA calculation (tutorial A3), the result was surprising. The binding free energy for the complex of small ligand -receptor was around ~-4000kCal/mol based on GB calculations. Should I use ante-MMPBSA.py for generating of the ligand, receptor, and complex from the solvated form of complex? 
ThanksMaryam

 Hi, adding to what David has said, it sounds like you're probably
breaking bonds when defining the ligand. How did you generate the
parameter files? I recommend using ante-MMPBSA.py


Hope this helps,

Bruno
