Hi Haresh,
The Reply Log message (see the bottom part of what you sent) says there was a problem calculating the charges of your mutated residues and that you should try running Add Charge first, so that's what I would recommend. Add Charge is in the menu under Tools.. Structure Editing, or can be run with command "addcharge". It has two options for calculating the charges of nonstandard residues: AM1-BCC or Gasteiger. Since the message shows there was a problem calculating using the AM1-BCC method on your mutated residues, I would try the Gasteiger method instead.
<http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/ContributedSoftware/addcharge/addcharge.html>
<http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/addcharge.html>
Then, after you run Add Charge successfully, you can run Coulombic again. It will automatically detect that the charges have already been calculated, and use those charges for calculating the ESP and coloring the surface.
Actually I tried calculating charges for a single 5,5,5-trifluoroleucine residue by itself (in Chimera, can use "open pubchem:259832" to fetch it by PubChem CID)
<http://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/summary/summary.cgi?cid=259832&loc=ec_rcs>
...and both methods, AM1-BCC and Gasteiger, worked fine; however maybe the calculation is more difficult in your structure where it sounds like the two mutated residues are treated together.
I hope this helps,
Elaine

I am getting this error which I am not able to understand.
