Zoey,

The one thing that sticks out to me immediately is that in tleap.in, you're
missing the part for setting PBRadii; I suggest you use one preparatory
tleap script for all of it.

The next part is that you are specifying a salt concentration of 0.15 M in
your tleap.in, but 0.10 in your mmpbsa.in files.

Suggestion: merge all the tleap stuff into one script and fix the mmpbsa.in
parts - you might comment out the PB part for a start, see if you can get
the faster GB part to run.

Cheers,

Todd
