Re: [AMBER] ante-MMPBSA ERROR: Creating complex topology failed

There should be a log file created by ante-MMPBSA.py that writes out more error information that would be helpful for diagnosis. Without that, it’s difficult to ascertain what might be wrong here.

I plan to use ante-MMPBSA.py on the step5_input.prmtop file to obtain the complex topology, receptor topology, and ligand topology after removing water, sodium ions, and chloride ions. Here is my code:
