[AMBER] non-realistic energies in MMPBSA

From: giulia palermo <giulia.palermo83.gmail.com>

Dear all,

I am using MMPBSA for computing the binding energy in a system composed by
an RNA dimer. In particular, I want to compute the binding energy between
the two RNA monomers and compare the results with sistems that include
mutations of the RNA bases.
While some systems give good results with energies of the order of 200
kcal/mol, in some others I get very big and unrealistic energies (> 2000000
kcal/mol) that worry me a lot.

I have checked the topology files and nothing is wrong. I report below
Input and output files, such that we could try to understand better what is
going on. I can also provide a zip file with the data, in case you need it
for understanding better.


Thank you very much
Giulia
