Dear all,
Does anybody know if there has been any update regarding the LCPO paramaterization of fluorine ?
regards,
Takanori

The error occurs because F has not been parameterized for the LCPO model
(s. Weiser et al., JCC 1999, 20,217), which is used to calculate the
solvent-accessible surface area for GBSA calculations within sander. If
you "come up" with some reasonable parameters for this, you can add
these parameters to the list in mdread.f (in $AMBERHOME/src/sander; see
the code after
"c --- construct parameters for SA calculation; note that the
c radii stored in L165 are augmented by 1.4 Ang.
"
).
Alternatively (and probably the easier way), you might want to determine
the SAS by using molsurf (set MS=1 in the mm_pbsa.in file). Have a look
at the "atmtypenumbers" file, to make sure that the atomic radius for F
is included there.
Best regards
Holger
