Junmei:
With all respect to the great work you have done, we have to find an easier
way to do this in the future :-)
I have never used the "-fa" option in antechamber, and the manual isn't
very clear (it just says "additional file", but what is it used for?). And
why is the Amber restart format chosen in steps (1) and (6) above?
Here is what I would like to see, but I don't know if it will work (yet).
(1) run antechamber to get the gaussian input file:
antechamber -i ppi.pdb -fi pdb -o ppi.gjf -fo gcrt -nc -1
(2) run gaussian to get gaussian output file (call it ppi.out)
(3) load gaussian output file and generate a mol2 file:
antechamber -fi gout -fo mol2 -i ppi.out -o ppi.mol2 -c resp
[the order of the atoms in all of the above files should be the same
as in the original pdb file]
(4) use the "loadMol2" (which is in Amber 8) to get this into LEaP.
This avoids the prep format completely, avoids reordering/renaming atoms,
and creates a mol2 format file that could be used as input to other programs
than LEaP.
What do you think?
...thanks!...dac
