The header of the output file will contain information about the calculation. It will also show the names of all files that were used in the calculation (topology files and coordinate file(s)). If the masks were not specified, it prints its best guess so that you can verify its accuracy, along with the residue name of the ligand (if it is only a single residue). After that, general information about methods, units, constants used is included. Entropy results are shown next in case any entropy approximation was used. Next, the energy and entropy contributions are broken up into their components as they are in sander and nmode or cpptraj. The contributions are further broken for the complex, receptor and ligand into GGAS and GSOLV. GGAS is the interaction energy and is obtained after sum the internal(bonded) components (BOND + ANGLE + DIHED) and the non-bonded (VDWAALS + EEL) components. For GSOLV, the polar and non-polar contributions are EGB (or EPB) and ESURF (or ENPOLAR + EDISPER), respectively for GB (or PB) calculations. A single trajectory protocol does not produce any differences between bond lengths, angles, dihedrals or 1-4 interactions between the complex and receptor/ligand structures. Thus, when subtracted they cancel completely. If not, these values are displayed and inconsistency warnings are printed. When this occurs the results are generally useless. Of course this does not hold for the multiple trajectory protocol as independent trajectories are used for the complex, receptor and ligand. Two approaches are used when calculating the standard deviation, and the standard error of the mean. The SD and SEM values are calculated using a sample (array) of values. On the other hand, SD(Prop.) and SEM(Prop.) are obtained with the propagation of uncertainty formula for f = A - B. Check this thread for more details on MM/PB(GB)SA statistics.

This is how a typical decomposition output file (FINAL_DECOMP_MMPBSA.dat by default) looks like:

Temporary files

Warning

This section does not record all the temporary files that are currently generated.

gmx_MMPBSA creates working files during the execution of the script beginning with the prefix _GMXMMPBSA_. If gmx_MMPBSA does not finish successfully, several of these files may be helpful in diagnosing the problem. For that reason, every temporary file is described below. Note that not every temporary file is generated in every simulation. At the end of each description, the lowest value of the original “keep_files” variable that will retain this file will be shown in parentheses. Nevertheless, in the current version, all the files are retained for plotting purposes.

gmx_MMPBSA.log This file contains the output coming from gmx_MMPBSA.

leap.log This file contains the output coming from tleap program.
