Actually, I tried to superimpose the topology and coordinate files
(generated using amber) over my input PDB structure of GDP but they were
not showing any superimposition. But the input file which I used for
antechamber (i.e. Gaussian output file) was superimposing completely on the
GDP's PDB and dat is why I assume that the problem might be with
antechamber or may be I am missing some constraints or options there.
I am new to amber as well as antechamber, hence I am confused about the
where the problem is lying.
Another amber mailing list member Marc has suggested to use the GDP
parameters given at: http://www.pharmacy.manchester.ac.uk/bryce/amber#cof
But these are in AMBER94 forcefield and I would be using AMBER03 for my
simulation. So, can I use these parameters for AMBERff03 too or some
changes are required?
