[AMBER] problem with heme parameters bound to HIS

Dear Amber Users,
I am trying to run an MD for a protein with a heme that is pentacoordinated with
His (delta protonated; i have renamed this his as HID). I downloaded the united
atom force field from the contributed parameters site. However, I run into
errors as follows:

# my leap input file:

loadamberparams frcmod.hemuni
loadamberprep heme_uni.in
addAtomTypes { { "DZ" "Zn" "sp3" } { "Zn" "Zn" "sp3" } }
loadOff znb.lib
loadOff hin.lib
loadOff hydroxide.lib
loadamberparams frcmod.zinc
fep = loadpdb clnFePPIX-noH.pdb
addions fep Na+ 0
solvatebox fep TIP3PBOX 10.00 0.75
saveamberparm fep fep.prm.top fep.prm.crd
quit

Error:

Building topology.
Building atom parameters.
For atom: .R<HEM 181>.A<CA 3> Could not find type: CH
For atom: .R<HEM 181>.A<CB 4> Could not find type: C2

For atom: .R<HEM 181>.A<CBD 50> Could not find type: C2

I believe this is due to the fact that it does not recognize the HID as part of
the HEM force fileld.
I would look forward towards any suggestions for this problem.
Thanks a lot in advance.
Best Regards,
Moitrayee
