Dear Professor:
          Thank you very much for your reply.
I have two ligands with identical atom names and orders for the
corresponding same atoms. I place the different atom at the end of mol2
files. After I ran Antechamber as the follows,then prep files with
different orders for corresponding same atoms were generated.

antechamber -i *.lig.mol2 -fi mol2 -o *.lig.ante.pdb -fo pdb
antechamber -i *.lig.mol2 -fi mol2 -o *.lig.ante.prep -fo prepi
parmchk -i *.lig.ante.prep -f prepi -o *.lig.ante.frcmod

Then the parm files and coordinates with different orders were also
generated after this. TI cannot work.

I am wondering are there any tutorials for TI for small molecules
setups(the real molecules with larger transformations, different rings,etc)
in AMBER 11 or AMBER12 ? Based on my experience, ligand pairs with simply
different atoms at the same position (C to N) can work. But ligand pairs
with larger transformation (ethyl to methyl ) cannot work, for antechamber
rearranges the order of the atoms. In addition, manually modifying the
corresponding atom names to be identical takes too long and is prone to
errors. Many thanks.
