Dear Sir,

Thanks for your replies before.

I try to create my non-standard residue such as N-methylatd valine
according to the tutorial
http://ambermd.org/tutorials/advanced/tutorial1/section3.htm. However, when
I proceed to this step *3.1.1) Defining the FAM5 Topology . I load my pdb
into leap. Before loading, the pdb seems ok. But after loading, it displays

> nme = loadpdb nme-valine-resp-modified.pdb
Loading PDB file: ./nme-valine-resp-modified.pdb
Unknown residue: NMe number: 0 type: Terminal/last
..relaxing end constraints to try for a dbase match
  -no luck
Creating new UNIT for residue: NMe sequence: 1
Created a new atom named: N1 within residue: .R<NMe 1>
Created a new atom named: C1 within residue: .R<NMe 1>
Created a new atom named: H1 within residue: .R<NMe 1>
Created a new atom named: C2 within residue: .R<NMe 1>
Created a new atom named: C3 within residue: .R<NMe 1>
Created a new atom named: H2 within residue: .R<NMe 1>
Created a new atom named: C4 within residue: .R<NMe 1>
Created a new atom named: C5 within residue: .R<NMe 1>
Created a new atom named: O1 within residue: .R<NMe 1>
Created a new atom named: H3 within residue: .R<NMe 1>
Created a new atom named: H4 within residue: .R<NMe 1>
Created a new atom named: H5 within residue: .R<NMe 1>
Created a new atom named: H6 within residue: .R<NMe 1>
Created a new atom named: H7 within residue: .R<NMe 1>
Created a new atom named: H8 within residue: .R<NMe 1>
Created a new atom named: C6 within residue: .R<NMe 1>
Created a new atom named: H9 within residue: .R<NMe 1>
Created a new atom named: H10 within residue: .R<NMe 1>
Created a new atom named: H11 within residue: .R<NMe 1>
  total atoms in file: 19
  The file contained 19 atoms not in residue templates

It is like the tutorial. However, when I check the nme unit, it displays.

> check nme

The coordinates seems not correct at this time. What happened exactly? And
what should I do? Besides, the tutorial use a xleap, I can only use tleap
in my nodes. How can proceed to the next step, ie. to conncet the atoms and
assign them charges?

Thanks.
C.Q.
