This can be disabled. Use the "-aatm" flag in ambpdb to disable this
behavior. The issue is that the PDB file formats have changed, and ambpdb
tries to satisfy everyone, but it has to pick a default behavior. -aatm
will use left-justified Amber atom names.

I don't think it'll make any difference, but like I said it's a simple
change to the ambpdb command to generate a name-compatible PDB file.

I don't know. The manual is not very helpful on this point. All I can
suggest is try it and see if you get the same answer either way.
Good luck!
