Re: [AMBER] force field library for protonated cytosine

Dear Francois,

                    I manually edited the mol2 file to add the amber12
(ff12SB) atom types. Now, since ff12SB loads nucleic10.lib which does not
contain atom type for H3 atom (protonation at N3), what type should i give
here. When i kept the atom type as 'H' and loaded the resulting mol2 file
in tleap, i got a missing parameter error :

Checking parameters for unit 'PC'.
Checking for bond parameters.
Could not find bond parameter for: NC - H
Checking for angle parameters.
Could not find angle parameter: CT - OS - HO
Could not find angle parameter: C - NC - H
Could not find angle parameter: H - NC - CA
There are missing parameters.
Unit is OK.

It seems that everything else is fine except bond and angles involving H3.
I also tried to add the missing bond using "bond" command in tleap but it
also resulted in an error :

bond c.24.N24 c.25.H25
bond: Argument #1 is type String must be of type: [atom]

Is the syntax of the bond command right?
