your *.tpr file has a peculiar structure with CL ions between the protein and the ligand... gmx_MMPBSA is not prepared to deal with this kind of structure (we plan to improve this in future versions)... in the meantime, you can use this workaround to perform the calculations...
you need the tpr file (step5_1.tpr), the trajectory file (1.xtc in this case), the
mmpbsa.in file and the topol.top file with the associated toppar folder:
1-generate a index file with the complex group:
gmx make_ndx -f step5_1.tpr -o index.ndx
>1|14
>q
2-save the complex structure (as str.pdb) using 1.xtc trajectory:
echo 16 | gmx trjconv -f 1.xtc -s step5_1.tpr -n index.ndx -o str.pdb -dump 0
3-generate trajectory only with protein-ligand complex:
echo 16 | gmx trjconv -f 1.xtc -s step5_1.tpr -n index.ndx -o traj.xtc
4-generate index file with the new str.pdb file:
gmx make_ndx -f str.pdb -o index_1.ndx
>q
5-perform the calculation (with the new str.pdb, index_1.ndx and traj.xtc files):
gmx_MMPBSA -O -i
mmpbsa.in -cs str.pdb -ci index_1.ndx -cg 1 13 -ct traj.xtc -cp topol.top -eo output -nogui
hope this helps!
