As far as I know there are no sander input variables that are
necessary for MM-PBSA, but I have related advice: if calculating
ligand binding energies, make sure that the ligand is either at
the beginning or the very end of the topology file. The
post-processing scripts for MM-PBSA are set up for these two
cases only.

Hope this helps.
