Your pdb file is badly formatted. First, all the atoms should be in the same
residue, but atoms 47-50 are not. When you put everything in one residue,
make sure the atom names are all unique (you can't have two atoms named "O1",
for example.)
More importantly, atom names in pdb file must be in residues 13-16, and hence
can be at most 4 characters. You have atom names that are in column 17 (atoms
42-46). This leads antechamber to change your atom names, since it thinks
you have duplicates.
As an aside: a terminal phosphate group will only be doubly protonated under
extremely acidic conditions. Unless you are sure you really have what is in
your pdb file, you should probably create a residue library for the -1 or -2
charge state of this molecule.
...good luck...dac
