Re: [AMBER] how to define solvated box dimensions

Dear Amber users,

I made some progress but didn't achieve my goal completely.

I created a tip4pew.pdb file with the following contents:

ATOM 1 O TP4 1 12.718 8.873 8.539 0.000
ATOM 2 H1 TP4 1 12.637 7.958 8.269 0.524220
ATOM 3 H2 TP4 1 12.304 9.370 7.833 0.524220
ATOM 4 EPW TP4 1 12.654 8.820 8.414 -1.048440
TER

and used it with AddToBox to fill up with TIP4P-Ew waters a predefined box.
However, when I loaded it in VMD and checked the partial charges I found
the following inconsistencies:

0.0 0.5199998617172241 0.5199998617172241 -1.0399997234344482
instead of 0.0 0.5242198705673218 0.5242198705673218 -1.0484397411346436,
which is the value I get with TIP4P-Ew waters made with leap.

Perhaps the connectivity may be incorrect too, but I am not familiar with
the .prmtop format.

How can I load in leap TIP4P-Ew waters in a .pdb file and write a correct
.prmtop file?

I hope someone will help me this time.

Thomas
