You should modify what antechamber did to look like the Amber library:
switch the order of atoms 4 and 5, and change the fourth column. Otherwise,
you will have problems when you go to link this into a longer piece of RNA.

Antechamber was originally designed to handle complete molecules, with no
missing covalent connections. You have to be a little careful in using it
to create residues that will later be linked into a polymer.

....good luck....dac
