Dear sir :

  I am simulating a Molecular Crystal by AmberTools 1.5 & Amber 11. I established a pdb of supercell sucessfully by methods in Amber turials . In the next step , I want to minimize the supercell under periodic conditions, but I found that I can't estabilish a reasonable periodic boundary condition.
  In these problems ,the first one is that not all angle parameters of crystal are 90 so that we can't establish a reasonable Triclinic box expect Cubic box & Cuboid box by order , SetBox , in tleap . The second one is that establish a Cubic box , 200*200*200 , by SetBox in tleap ,but I found the monomers don't filled the space in this periodic box ,and in MD process the supercell is disintegrated.
  Above of all , I want to inqurie that how to establish a reasonable Triclinic box.

Index : 1. parameters of crystal in UnitCell
a=10.906 b= 3.991 c= 14.030 alpha=90 Belta= 110.82 gamma=90
           2. Leap.in

         
source leaprc.gaff
mods = loadamberparams Mono.frcmod
MOL = loadmol2 Mono.mol2
check MOL
supercell = loadpdb 231.pdb
set supercell box { 200.0 200.0 200.0 }
saveamberparm supercell 231.prmtop 231.inpcrd
quit

          3. min.in

&cntrl
  imin = 1,
  maxcyc = 500,
  ncyc = 250,
  ntb = 1,
  igb = 0,
  ntr = 0,
  cut = 20,
 /

                                                                                                                                           Yours Sincerely
                                                                                                                                                        2011-6-5
