Re: [AMBER] AMBER Error: unable to achieve consistency

Hi Asma,

What does ligand_h.pdb look like? - You are missing MANY hydrogens in this
PDB. You may need to add them yourself manually. Without the hydrogens it is
no wonder the SCF does not converge. Ligand.pdb as it stands does not
represent a stable molecule.

Additionally how are you arriving at a charge of +1 for this ligand. It
seems to me that once it has had the hydrogens added the charge would be
neutral.

All the best
Ross
