I am trying to set up a protein for AMBER 9 using LEaP. I have used
SYBYL to initially view the pdb file and to remove the hydrogen atoms.
The protein has 7 intramolecular disulfide bonds. I find that if I just
use the pdb file as input to LEaP the .top and .crd files are written
using saveAmberParm. The problem arises when I try to bond the
disulfides in LEaP. When I do this LEaP gives me the following warnings:
 
Could not find bond parameters for: SH - SH
 
Could not find angle parameters for:  HS - SH - SH
                                                     SH - SH - CT
                                                     SH - SH - HS
 
Could not find proper torsions. No torsion terms for : HS - SH - SH - CT
 
HS - SH - SH - HS
 
CT - SH - SH - CT
 
CT - SH - SH - HS
 
A total of 217 improper torsions applied.
 
The *.top and *.crd files are not generated when I do a saveAmberParm.
 
These parameters seem like nonsense to me. For instance, there are no SH
- SH bonds in the protein.
 
Can anyone give me some insight on how to work through this?
 
Thanks!
 
John Beale
