In these situations I always recommend that one goes and RTS's (Read the
source...)
You will find ambpdb.f in $AMBERHOME/src/etc.
It is a really simple fortran code, is all in one file and is only 774 lines
long... Easy, you don't even need to know Fortran to follow it...
Now if you trace it through you will find a routine called GENPDB. Inside
this if you search for -pqr you will see the following line:
else if (arg1.eq.'-pqr') then
WRITE(NF,81) K,atnam,LBRES(J),J_print,
. (C(JC+M),M=1,3),chg(k),elrad(itype)
So, you can see that the radii are written from the array elrad(...). So
search through the code for elrad and what do you find:
dimension elrad(15)
c
c from Sitkoff, Sharp & Honig, PARSE values, J. Phys. Chem. 98:1978(1994)
c
c data elrad/2.0, 1.4, 1.0, 1.5, 1.0, 0.0, 1.7, 1.85, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0,
c . 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0/
c
c Bondi radii, from Huheey, Inorganic Chemistry: Principles of Structure
c and Reactivity, 2nd ed. p. 232.
c
data elrad/1.85, 1.5, 1.0, 1.55, 1.0, 0.0, 1.7, 1.8, 0.0, 0.0,
. 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.2/
It is defined in a data statement. So ambpdb doesn't read the radii from the
prmtop file at all, it is hard wired into the code. Hence the behaviour you
are seeing.
Thus without modification of the code ambpdb cannot do what you want. You
should try ptraj I think this may do it.
All the best
