Dear Dr Cojocaru,
Thanks very much for your quick reply.
I followed your advice, put the HIS and HEM together, checked if the heme atom names in the PDB file agree with those defined in heme_uni.in and I also added two hydrogen atoms to match exactly 55 atoms (excluding the 3 dummies) with heme_uni.in.
I also replaced all the HETATM cards to ATOM cards in the .pdb and deleted the SO4 ion.
Then, I did the following :
>>source leaprc.ff99SB (I really wanted to use leaprc.ff03ua but if I have done so, the WAT couldn't be recognized later on and gave the error message : http://www.pitt.edu/~lwy1/2ndcheck.txt )
>>loadamberparams /home/software/amber/amber9_patch34/dat/contrib/heme/frcmod.hemuni
>>loadamberprep /home/software/amber/amber9_patch34/dat/contrib/heme/heme_uni.in
>>mbdo=loadpdb ./1MBD-mod.pdb
>>saveamberparm mbdo mbdo.top mbdo.crd
>>quit
Unfortunately, the 'HEM' still could not be recognized and gave the error message as
http://www.pitt.edu/~lwy1/1stcheck.txt
I also uploaded my modified .pdb at
http://www.pitt.edu/~lwy1/1MBD-mod.pdb
It will be very nice of you to tell me where it is done wrongly. Thanks again.
Lee

Dear Yang,
You should specify in your pdb file that the histidine belongs to the
heme ... E.g. If the name of heme residue is HEM in your pdb file and in
the Leap library, you should change the name of the histidine residue
attached to the heme in your pdb file also to "HEM" ... (I would
actually move the HEM records from the end of the pdb next to the HIS
residue attached to it and have HIS+HEM a single residue called HEM)
You should also make sure that your atom names in the Leap library fits
100% to the atom names in your pdb file ...
From your Leap error it looks as if you are not loading the water model
as well ....
Cheers
