First, this is not the way antechamber should be used. You should break
the molecule into small fragments, and determine the best charges for
each.

Second, the amino end group you have is deprotonated...that would probably
happen only at very high pH.

Third, atoms within a residue (or giant molecule in your case) should have
unique names. You have many, many atoms named "C1" etc. Antechamber tries to
fix things like this, but may fail.
