Hi Madhu
thanks for the reply. I will use the CYM residue type. But do I create
the bond between Zn and S by using the 'bond' command? this would make
a proper bond between the atoms and then I would require all the
parameters like bond length and dihedral angle which I dont have? are
these parameters available in Parm99.dat? How do i create an
artificial bond?

thanks for ur help again.
Rgds,
Nitin
