Re: [AMBER] how to check for errors in a topology library file created with saveOff

There's something going on. I get different 'prmtop' files whether I use
the 'mol2' file or the
'
off' file that I derived from the 'mol2' file:

I get one prmtop from this tleap script that uses the 'mol2' file:

source leaprc.ff10
addAtomTypes { { "SI" "Si" "sp3" } }
loadAmberParams mySi.dat
me8t8=loadmol2 me8t8_Qneutral.mol2
saveAmberParm me8t8 my.prmtop my.mdcrd
quit

And I get a different prmtop from these tleap scripts using an 'off'
derived file:

N11 = loadMol2 me8t8_Qneutral.mol2
saveOff N11 me8t8.lib
quit

source leaprc.ff10
addAtomTypes { { "SI" "Si" "sp3" } }
loadAmberParams mySi.dat
me8t8=loadoff me8t8.lib
saveAmberParm me8t8 my.prmtop my.mdcrd
quit

I know these two prmtop files are different by looking at the potentials.
For instance, the first prmtop file contains:


%FLAG
BOND_FORCE_CONSTANT
%FORMAT(5E16.8)

  3.40000000E+02 1.89650000E+02 3.50120000E+02

W
hile the second once contains:
%FLAG
BOND_FORCE_CONSTANT
%FORMAT(5E16.8)

  3.50120000E+02 3.40000000E+02 1.89650000E+02

Looks like the values are shuffled, but that would imply that the ordering
of the atoms has changed. However, the two prmtop files are indentical when
looking at the %FLAG ATOM_NAME section.
