Re: AMBER: use leap to build top & crd files for a pdb file with crytalline water molecules

Yes, I am using Amber8, and the residue name of my crystal water is HOH.

I just checked the force field files, they are:

In leaprc.ff03:
----------------
HOH = WAT
TIP3 = WAT
TP3 = WAT

In leaprc.ff99 or leaprc.ff02:
----------------
HOH = TP3
WAT = TP3

I am not sure how the file handles the "HOH" and "WAT" residues?
