Dear Dr. Case
I have been trying to run a GPCR simulation in a DMPC bilayer. For this, I
have downloaded a pre-equilibrated and hydrated bilayer from Dr. Phil
Biggin's tutorial from internet.
This file has 288 DMPC lipids and waters, and is in the PDB format. I intend
to convert it into amber top/crd file format to run simulation in amber9.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Antechamber
Since DMPC is a non-standard residue, I ran antechamber to get a prepi file
for the DMPC and named the residue DMP in the antechamber. I used a mol2
file as the input structure. The overall charge was neutral. The output file
was DMPC_bcc.prep
$ antechamber -rn DMP -i DMPC_mono_sybyl.mol2 -fi mol2 -o DMPC_bcc.prep -fo
prepi -c bcc
Then I used parmchk to check the parameters
$ parmchk -I DMP_bcc.prep -f prepi -o DMPC_frcmod
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Leap
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I had a complete DMPC bilayer file which was very big. So I thought first
trying to convert a smaller file to top/crd formats, if that works fine, I
can then convert my bigger file. So I retained just the first two DMPC
monomers of my original pdb file and 4 waters, in order to see how it
performs. That's how I created try2.pdb: it contains just 2 DMPC molecules
and 4 waters.
Now the Leap commands and error (in the end) are as follows >>>>>>>>>

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Like I previously mentioned, the input pdb file with just 1 DMPC molecule
and 4 waters perform fine in leap which is input_try1.pdb and its
corresponding output files are: try1.pdb, try1.prmtop, try1.inpcrd
PS: Since It is very difficult to manually edit the original 288 DMPC
molecules for placing TER cards between each residues and changing the atom
names (>50,000 atoms), I did not do that in this test case too. However, the
atom names for each DMPC and water residues are unique as is required by
leap.
I can send the original big DMPC file if required later.
I will look forward to your suggestions.
Thanks and Regards

|I think we will need to see the entire list of LEaP commands you used (try
|to make a test case that is as simple as possible.) In particular, we need
|to see whatever file you have that defines the DMP residue (prepin, mol2,
|etc.). The say in which "connection" atoms are defined is probably key
|to this problem. Also, please indicate how you constructed this DMP file.
