Re: Fwd: AMBER: LEaP problem with LEU first residue?

Hi,

Have you tried all the various paths to leap-ophilic hydrogen names:
Try using the -aatm option, eg,
amdpbd -p ...prmtop -aatm < ...inpcrd > ...pdb

Or using protonate to cleanup names and/or add hydrogens;
see pp 251 in the amber10 manual.
Or using reduce.

Of course, it is common to strip hydrogens and let leap add them back.
