Re: AMBER: Prepin error (?) in xleap

Hi Junmei and Dr. Case,

Junmei - I ran your commands and they worked smoothly. However, now my
challenge is to generating the parameter and topology files (seems like once
I overcome an obstacle another one appears?!). I ran the following commands
in xleap:

1. tleap: loadamberprep glu3.prepi
2. tleap: edit GLU
    (new box with the glu3 structure pops up - the structure looks okay).
3. xleap: I select all and relax the structure.
4. tleap: solvatebox GLU TIP3PBOX 10
    (...823 residues added successfully)
5. tleap: saveamberparm GLU glu3.prmtop glu3.inpcrd
   ...and this is where I get the error message:

   Checking Unit.
   Building topology.
   Building atom parameters.
   For atom: .R<GLU 1>.A <OE1 1> Could not find type: o
   For atom: .R<GLU 1>.A <CD 2> Could not find type: c
   For atom: .R<GLU 1>.A <OE2 3> Could not find type: o
   For atom: .R<GLU 1>.A <CG 4> Could not find type: c3
   ...etc.
The error encompasses all 32 atoms from OE1 to O30.

Is this a problem with assigning atom types in antechamber? I thought that
by running antechamber, the features of atomtype would be already included?
A similar problem to mine is discussed in this thread (
http://archive.ambermd.org/200609/0059.html), and
the authors state that a modified force field (frcmod) file is missing. Am
I missing force field parameters? I'm running xleap in the
leaprc.ff99SBforce field.

I know you're probably really busy right now, so thanks for your patience
and help as I muscle through this problem.

Thanks,
Lili
