Re: Proper torsion parameters missing?

 I have also had this problem, and fortunately there is a quite simple way
for solving it. In the error message from leap there is also the solution.

When it says

Please add a dummy parameter of multiplicity 2
for the non-pert types to your parameter set.
 - e.g. CT-CT-CT-CA 1 0.0 0. 2.

 You can copy "CT-CT-CT-CA 1 0.0 0. 2." as a line in the
torsions field of the dummy parameter file. Leap will complain for each
dihedral parameter missing, so you have to copy each one in the in the
parameter file. (if repeated, you can remove duplicate lines). This should
work... It worked for me...

 I hope this helps,

Miguel.
