Re: [AMBER] Fixing pdb files prepared in VMD, minor errors

Thanks for your help.

I changed the OT1s to Os which fixed that problem. However after changing OT2 to OXT I am still running into trouble:

FATAL: Atom .R<VAL 40>.A<OXT 17> does not have a type.


All of the problems are with the OXTs on VAL and the CDs on ILE (which I am going to change to CD1, should fix that problem).
