Hi Abdul,
Leap works by following the protein chain, adding bonds to the heads and
tails as it goes. Hence for the Fe the most it will ever do is add 2 bonds,
it cannot work out the coordination itself so you have to add these missing
bonds manually. The reason you are getting the bond to the backbone C of
cysteine is that the Fe in your pdb file probably does not have TER cards
around it hence it tries to bond it into the backbone chain. I suggest doing
the following:
1) Change cysteines that bind to the Fe to be residue name CYM (This
prevents leap from adding the additional hydrogen on the sulphur.)
2) Modify any other residues that need to be modified / deprotonated etc to
bond to the iron - change their names in the pdb file to match.
3) Add TER cards either side of the Fe atom in the pdb file.
4) Load leap and the various leaprc and prepin / frcmod files you need.
5) load the pdb and then use the bond command to add the bonds you require.
Good luck,
Ross

Subject: AMBER: Heme cysteine
Dear Amber users,
As I have previously posted the error message while preparing the input file
for heme-cysteine group.
Unfortunately I didn’t received any answer. Now my question is does tleap
program can identify the coordination number of Fe in heme?
I tried to prepare topology file for five coordinated heme group (heme
attached to cysteine). In this sytem it is giving error that “WARNING: There
is a bond of 4.890173 angstroms between:
------- .R<HEM 357>.A<FE 9> and .R<HEM 357>.A<C 82>”. Although this bond
does not exist (Fe and backbone C of cysteine), why program is showing error
message about this bond. After manual deleting this bond, it does not show
error. Then when I tried to save the .top and .crd file, after the “Marking
per-residue atom chain types.” System get hang and it does not save the
topology and coordinate files.
On the other hand, when I use a six coordinated Fe in which water is the
sixth ligand, and add the parameters for water in prep and frcmod file, it
works fine. I could able to save the topology file.
I am unable to understand what will be the reason behind this two system.
I shall be thankful for any suggestion or comments in this regard.
Best regards
Abdul Rajjak

Dear Dr. Ross,
While preparing the Cytochrome P450, first I added the missing residues
using swiss pdb viewer. The I added hydrogen to HEM and cysteine group,
which is also attached to heme (I didn’t added the hydrogen to protein, as
leap does not recognize it). Then I took the parameters from amber
contributed parameters (amber9/dat/contrib). As parameters are for
heme-histidine, I modified it for heme-cysteine. After that I used usual
procedure using tleap.
Set of commands are as follows-
source leaprc.ff99
loadamberparams parm99_mod.dat
loadamberparams frcmod.heme_all
loadamberprep heme_all.in
mol=loadpdb 2H7S_mod.pdb
check mol
After check mol I got error message that FE is bonded to backbone C of
cysteine. According to one of the Amber users suggestion, I deleted that
bond using deletebond command. Then I didn’t find the error about bond
between FE and C. Finally I tried to save topology file using saveamberparm.
After “Marking per-residue atom chain types.” System get hang at this point.
No error message is found after this sentence. In my previous message I have
attached the pdb files and parameter files
(
http://archive.ambermd.org/200810/0053.html). Please find the attached file
for commands and error message.
Thanking you
Regards
Abdul Rajjak

Dear Shaikh,
I don't see any error message in your output below. What exactly do you mean
by the "System gets stuck"? Does it just hang at this point?
Can you send us your full set of leap commands, I.e. what you did before the
saveamberparm, as well as a more in-depth discussion of the pdb you used,
how you modified it, what parameters you are using etc. and then we might be
able to work out what is going on.
All the best
Ross

Dear Amber Users,
I am trying to prepare amber input files for Cytochrome P450.
When I tried to save to topology file and coordinate file, following message
appears. After “Marking per-residue atom chain types.” System gets stuck. It
didn’t create any topology file. What will be the possible reason for this
error. I will be grateful for your suggestion.
Thanks
