I'm trying to combine my units in leap into a single molecule to make 
prmtop in inpcrd files.  I created a molecule and have it correctly 
formatted in xLeap.  (It was made out of a crown-ether like organic 
portion and a Ni atom that were merged.  I called the new unit NCH.)  I 
want to put the NCH into a piece of DNA as an intercalator in place of 
an existing molecule.  I changed the atom/residue names of the chosen 
overlap atoms in the intercalator-DNA pdb file to those of the matching 
atoms in NCR and deleted all of the other old intercalator atoms.  I 
load NCH into leap, get that settled correctly and then try and load 
the DNA pdb file, hoping that leap will recognize the atoms and place 
NCH in the correct place.  (I've used this method in the past and it 
has been fine.  This time, it doesn't recognize the atoms, places the 
NCH a ways away and mashes it up.  I get the following error in 
leap.log:
 > NiCR2H = loadpdb NiCR2H_dna_mod.pdb

   Leap added 154 missing atoms according to residue templates:

   The file contained 2 atoms not in residue templates
It looks like it's not thinking that NCH is a single unit, maybe?  I'm 
not sure what's going on.
Thanks,
