Dear Amber experts,
I'm trying to estimate the vertical energy gap as defined in Figure 4 of this
<https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs.chemrev.5b00298#_i25>paper.
For this, I have ensured that prmtop files for both states are identical.
Then, I've used imin=5 prmtop of 1st state to re-calculate Amber energies
at the coordinate of the 2nd state.
I'm getting the following energies for the two states.
The mdin file is also shown below. Can you please suggest to me if these
results seem meaningful? I can't see the Etot, EKtot and EPtot values in
the mdout file while using imin=5. Did I miss/missunderstand the usage of
some keywords/options in mdin file while using imin=5?
Input file for 1st state normal md is given at the bottom of the message.

Looking forward to receiving valuable suggestions from the list.
