Dear Colleagues!

this is a ligand which I parametrize
http://www.rcsb.org/pdb/ligand/ligandsummary.do?hetId=ERC&sid=3PDS

I've found it in the leap.log of my ligand

WARNING: The unperturbed charge of the unit: 0.994001 is not zero.
Checking parameters for unit 'ERC'.
Checking for bond parameters.
Checking for angle parameters.
check: Warnings: 1
Unit is OK.

Checking Unit.
WARNING: The unperturbed charge of the unit: 0.994001 is not zero.
