If I am calling whole sugar as 0fA but the residue number are same as such 1
hydroxyl group and 2 for rest sugar then in that case xleap crushes just
after the loadpdb command in Xleap........error is fallowing..

When I am calling whole sugar as 0fA but the residue number 1 for hydroxyl
group and rest sugar too then in that case xleap it doesnt find the
parameters in GLYCAM forcefield fir those atom types and produces fallowing
error
