Thanks for your response, I do have a follow-up question though. (see
below)

I checked both geometry before and after the MOPAC run and all seems to be
intact. The calculations do appear to complete, and I think I might have
a lead on which "bond types may not be correctly assigned". The "peptide"
that I am attempting to determine parameters for consists of both natural
and non-natural backbone atoms (i.e. benzene ring embedded in the
backbone) Upon inspection of the ANTECHAMBER_BCC_TYPE.AC file, the bond
records that antechamber is complaining about seem to be the ones that are
non-natural in order of occurance. Would it be safe to assume that the
warning message is simply indicating that the non-natural backbone (and
side chain) bonds that MOPAC determines are unable to be confirmed
(looked up and assigned) by Antechamber since it is not naturally occuring
peptide?
BOND 7 4 5 1 N H
BOND 8 4 6 1 N C !!!
BOND 9 6 7 1 C C !!!
BOND 10 6 13 1 C C !!!
BOND 11 7 8 1 C C !!!
BOND 12 8 9 1 C C !!!
BOND 13 8 14 1 C C !!!
BOND 14 9 10 1 C O

Thanks, we were due for an upgrade anyway ;)
