Azahara,

Looks like your computer doesn't have enough memory. You may change
the grid spacing twice as large from 0.5 A to 1.0 A by inserting

scale=1.0

into the pb namalist section of the input file.

All the best,
Ray

The partial charges for the monomer atoms were calculated with the AM1-BCC method using the antechamber module of AmberTools. To create the topology files of the dimer in solution, the dimer in vacuum and the monomers in the gas phase, tleap of AmberTools module was used.
