Re: [AMBER] questions about AMBER prep files

The format is defined on http://ambermd.org/formats.html

However, is there a reason you insist on using the PREP file instead of the
MOL2 file? Both work equally well in tleap, and the MOL2 will probably not
have this problem.

The Amber prep with cartesian coordinates (-prepc instead of -prepi) may
also not reorder the atoms.

Good luck,
Jason
