Dear AMBER users:

I am trying to simulate the interaction between a protein and mannose
and modifications of mannose. Since there are no parameters for these
modifications, I used antechamber for the generation of these
parameters. But when simulating the 6-amino-6-desoxy-mannose there seem
to be a strong interaction between the amino group (positively charged)
and the ring oxygen O5. During the simulation in a water box, the amino
group almost always points to O5. I would expect a more random
orientation of this group. Also the QM calculations imply that e.g. a
interaction of the amino group with O2 would be more favorable.

The charge of O5 is -0.47 (calculated using gaussian with the input file
provided by antechamber, the prep-file is given below). All the other
oxygens have much more negative partial charges in the range of -0.6 to
-0.7. Glycam assigns to the two lone-pairs of O5 in mannose a charge of
-0.167 resulting in a partial charge of -0.334, which is lower but not
so different to -0.47. Could somebody please help me finding the
problem, if there is one? Or is there a better method to get parameters
for modified sugar?

Thank you very much.
Thomas
