Dear amber users and developers,
When I try to tleap a branched carbohydrate contain sialic acid,
tleap of AmberTools12 cannot save .top and .crd file with two errors about torsion angle.
########### input for tleap
source leaprc.GLYCAM_06h
glycan = sequence { ROH 4GB WLB 3VB 0LB }
set glycan tail glycan.3.O3
branch = sequence { glycan 0SA }
saveamberparm branch comp.top comp.crd
savepdb branch comp.pdb
quit

######################
However, I investigate molecular structure of WLB and 0SA,
torsinal angles "H2-Cg-Os-Cy" and "Os-Cg-Os-Cy" donot exist.
Thus, I guess this behaivor is caused by some bugs...
For your information,
1) if using tleap of AmberTools1.5 with newest patch files,
this error is not obserbed: .top and .crd are generated.
2) if I try not branched carbohydrate with sialic acid, such as
>branch = sequence { ROH 4GB 4LB 3VB 0SA }
>saveamberparm branch comp.top comp.crd
>savepdb branch comp.pdb
tleap work without error evenif AmberTools12.
3)if I try the example of AmberTools12 manual
(pp.87, describing branched carbohydrates)
> source leaprc.GLYCAM_06h
>
> glycan = sequence { ROH 4YB 4YB VMB } # linear sequence to branch
> set glycan tail glycan.4.O3 # set attachment point to the O3 in VMB
> glycan = sequence { glycan 0MA } # add one of the 0MA
>
> set glycan tail glycan.4.O6 # set attachment point to the O6 in VMB
> BR = sequence { glycan 0MA } # add the other 0MA
>
>
> saveamberparm BR comp.top comp.crd
> savepdb BR comp.pdb
then, tleap works well without error evenif AmberTools12.
Thus,
1) suggests this error is AmberTools12 specific.
2) 3) suggest this error occurs onlyif molecule shape is branched and contains sialic acid.
