Hi Fransois
I have been attempting to load the pdb file which, as you can see in the attachment is identical in residues, atom names to the mol2 file and still I am getting the error in leap saying it does not have atom types for my pdb. I have also attempted with "TER" and in its absence to no success.
I hope I am not doing something dumb and wasting your time. I am sending you everything I am using. Can you give it a glance and tell me if you have any ideas?
Is the problem that these mol2 files were not made with gaff.dat/antechamber?
Is there a way to convert mol2 files to prepi files if necessary or would this even help?
Thanks, Steve

It is what I guessed ;-)

Yes

Indeed, an atom name has to be unique in a _same_ residue, yes; but an
atom name can be repeated in different residues.

P is indeed found three times in dCTP2 but it is "unique" since it is
found in three different residue numbers: i.e. in the numbers 1, 2 &
3. the fact that residues 2 & 3 have the same name does not matter
since they have a different residue number.
In fact, it is exactly the same case than the CA alpha atom in the
ALA-GLY-GLY peptidic sequence.

No I do not think so. This is difficult to say without doing it.
But, I would say that you need to load in LEaP a protein/dCTP2 complex
(in the PDB file format). I would first try the following residue
"organization":
ATOM protein whatever set of Cartesian coordinates
ATOM etc... ...
TER
ATOM 1 OR P2M x whatever set of Cartesian coordinates
ATOM 2 P P2M x ...
ATOM 3 OP1 P2M x ...
ATOM 4 OP2 P2M x ...
ATOM 5 OP3 P2M x ...
TER
ATOM 6 OR P1 y ...
ATOM 7 P P1 y ...
ATOM 8 OP1 P1 y ...
ATOM 9 OP2 P1 y ...
TER
ATOM 10 OR P1 y ...
ATOM 11 P P1 y ...
ATOM 12 OP1 P1 y ...
ATOM 13 OP2 P1 y ...
TER
ATOM 14 O3' C5 z ...
etc for residue 4 until the end of dCTP2
You need to try but I would say that the presence of the TER words
should match the residue number of the mol2 file...
Do not hesitate to ask for more questions her...
regards, Francois
