Dear DAC,

Thanks for your response. After a lot of hassle, I have decided to write a
perl script which creates the prepi file for the given structure. I just
needed to change the charges for the residues. So I wrote the
script such that the known .prepi file for the known residues (A,C,G,U
and their 3' and 5' end prepi files), the .pdb file of the structure and
the charge file which was created by using the given .pdb file (after
following the RESP procedure) are given in the command line, and it will
automatically create the modified .prepi file (only the charge column
will be different). Now when I load the .prepi structures in xleap, I
dont get any errors. Thanks for your time.

Best,
