Re: [AMBER] unexpected behavior of ambpdb

What a coincidence! I noticed the same issue today with a phosphorylated
serine (S2P). The 3 'free' oxygens bound to the phosphorus are O1P, O2P and
O3P (in the .off file
http://personalpages.manchester.ac.uk/staff/Richard.Bryce/amber/pro/S2P.off and
thus also in the prmtop). ambpdb turns O1P into OP1 and O2P into OP2, but
leaves O3P as it is (and should be...)

Obviously, if you create your pdb with ptraj, you don't have this problem.
