Hi Hiroshi,
I am copying this to the Amber mailing list so others can see this message

I checked the differences between the str1.prmtop file on the website and
the one you sent me. The only differences are in the dihedrals which if you
break them out are backbone dihedrals. Thus I think the origin of the
difference lies with this bugfix:
http://ambermd.org/bugfixes/9.0/bugfix.5
********>Bugfix 5:
Author: Yong Duan
Date: 06/02/2006
Programs: Anything using the ff03 force field
Description: There is a bad line in frcmod.ff03 in Amber 9. Any prmtop
files created using this will have to be re-made.
Fix: apply the following patch to amber9/dat/leap/parm/frcmod.ff03
-------
So there are two possibilities here. Either 1) you are using a version of
amber 9 which doesn't have this bugfix applied or 2) I created the
str1.prmtop file in the tutorial before this bugfix was released.
I am not sure which one applies here so if you can let me know if you
applied the bugfixes or not this will explain whether I need to update the
tutorial. Once I hear back from you I'll probably just add a note to the
tutorial page about the bugfix and that (if I did it before the bugfix) the
answers you get might be slightly different because of this but will still
serve as a suitable example. Or alternatively that before running the
tutorial you 'must' make sure you applied this bugfix.
Anyway please let me know and I'll update the tutorial.
All the best
Ross
