Re: AMBER: Leap atoms CL and OXT do not have a type

I reply here also to carlos, with thanks.

The OXT issue was resolved by placing an additional TER line (I forgot
the HETATM is not recognized by Amber as not needing TER, so that
there was a TER line only after the CL line, before next chain. That
is, CL was in the same first chain, and so on)

The interface between the first two chains reads now:

ATOM 3422 OXT LYS A 420 153.130 56.796 73.930 1.00 97.96 1SG3423
TER
HETATM 3423 Cl- Cl-A 421 80.566 52.944 60.971 1.00 6.32 1SG3425
TER
ATOM 3424 N LEU B 1 148.531 90.864 79.387 1.00 63.95 2SG3426

However the CL/Cl- issue was not resolved. Apparently, Cl- is not
recognized as a residue:

WARNING: The unperturbed charge of the unit: -50.000000 is not zero.
FATAL: Atom .R<Cl 421>.A<Cl- 1> does not have a type.

Should I try "Cl" as residue and "Cl-" as atom name?

I'll take care of the (very delicate problem) total charge only when
present FATALS are resolved.

Thanks
francesco
