Hi Ross,
I have been trying to create the sequence correctly. I defined FPRT
(first part) REPU (repeated unit) and ENDU (end unit)
all three units have a tail and a head using set head set tail
functions. I also saved the structures in their own *.lib files similar
to the (Simulating a Solvated Protein that Contains Non-Standard
Residues (More Advanced Version))
in xleap i tried mymol = sequence { FPRT REPU REPU REPU ENDU } i got
FATAL ERROR
FATAL: in file [chiraliy.c], line 140
FATAL: Message: Atom named C12 from REPU did not match !
ABORTING.
question: in the files i set up does amber remove the hydrogen from C12
and create a connection? In other words my structures have a head and
tail atoms (carbon atoms) with 4 bonds, should they have 3 bonds
instead? or am i completely off interpreting this error.
Best,
Taufik
P.S. i am using AMBER 9 on IRIX64 6.5
