Re: [AMBER] NMR refinement in explicite water

is there an option to remove the water molecules from the
structure files?
Are you going to do MD in gaeseous phase? if yes, you can remove water.

Do leap recognize this atom type to generate the inpcrd and prmtop files (or
may
be we should use the n.3)?

Yes, leap recognize the quaternary nitrogen, have you seen gaff.dat file in
Amber source?
You can assign the atom type based on this file.
Good luck!
