Re: AMBER: unnatural base - RESP charges in ANTECHAMBER

If you haven't performed gaussian calculations, you may generate a gcrt or
gzmat file and run gaussian (98, 03 etc). You may need to modify the net
charge and 2S+1 if it is necessary. After you get the gaussian output file,
principally you could generate the two-stage resp charge with a command
like "antechamber -fi gout -fo mol2 -i gaussian.out -o molecular.mol2 -c
resp". Of course, you can also generate the resp charge step by step: (1)
extract ESP from gaussian with espgen; (2) generate an ac file from
gaussian output file with antechamber and run respgen to get the resp input
files; (3) run resp to get two-stage resp charges; (3) read in the resp
charge using antechamber with "-c rc -cf qout" flag. Here qout is the
default name of resp charges generated by resp.

Hopefully it helps
