Re: [AMBER] Problem building octahedral coordinated ligands in LEaP

Tom I tried the addAtomTypes yesterday and today to no avail. Since I can build four ligands attached to the metal before the loadpdb command, I have proceeded to add and bond the remaining two ligands afterward. After the appropriate zMatrix command, I got the ligands right where I want them and LEaP spits out pdb, topology and coordinate files that I can use.

I think the chirality.c FATAL error that I was getting is a computer or compiler-specific thing.

Ah, this is my mistake - I had forgotten to include the lines that inform leap of the hybridization types of these dummy atoms:

addAtomTypes {
 { "MM" "" "sp3" }
 { "DX" "" "sp3" }
 { "DY" "" "sp3" }
 { "DZ" "" "sp3" }
}

Using this leap command your example now works for me (after ensuring all the atom and type names are consistent).

Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I've updated the tarball on my site to reflect this.
