AMBER: protonated phosphate

Hello!

I am new to Amber, but learned a lot from reading
your excellent tutorials. I was particularily
thrilled by finding a web page
(http://amber.scripps.edu/antechamber/dna.html)
adressing the problems of protonated phosphate
groups, exactly what I was looking for. The
procedure is a bit difficult to understand,
however, and I have two questions.

1. Do you have copies of the .prepi files DA3P,
DC3P, DG3P and DT3P mentioned in the text. It is
very convenient that the DAP, DCP, DGP and DTP
actually are given at the page.

2. Where do I find and how do I prepare .ac files (mentioned in Step 5).

3. It seems difficult to mix non-protonated and
protonated units in the same molecule (see the
xleap session below). Do you have any advice?

Best regards, Einar Uggerud
