Dear Amber Community,
I am trying to use antechamber to prepare an inorganic molecule for
minimisation etc.
The molecule contains a Zn atom co-ordinated to 3 pyrole like rings. . How
should I treat this? I have a crystal structure of this and hence can input
all parameters (particularly those related to Zinc. It seems as if gaff does
not include the option of a dummy atom, or does it?
I have used p3 as a substitute which works in so far as I can generate a
readable prepi file but this not really the right solution.
I have Amber7 at present but am upgrading with in the next couple of weeks
to Amber8.
All help most gratefully received
