Hi,

I have a receptor with a proline at N-terminal. Before running
secstruct in cpptraj, i rename HN to H in my pdb file and used it as a
topology file. But i'm having problem with this particular receptor
that start with proline, it comes with 2 HN. I tried to rename HN1 to
H1 and HN2 to H2 but the program stop with segmentation fault and
without any error message. I also tried to rename it to H2 and H3, but
it is still stop with segmentation fault and without any error
message. What is the Amber standard for backbone amide hydrogens for
N-terminal proline?

Pls advise.

Thanks and regards,
colvin
