Hello Dr. Case and Dr. Ponder,

Unfortunately simply removing the lines still screws up tinker_to_amber
parsing since now there are less multipole entries than is specified in the
header of the analout file. If I change the header from " Polarizable
Multipoles 136" to " Polarizable Multipoles 133" then the conversion
completes. But that means that I don't get multipole data for the disulfide
bridge atoms.

My other approach was to copy the multipole values from extended-chain
structure into the analout for the folded + bridged structure, but because
of two extra H in CYS vs CYX, the atom numbers don't line up. If I use CYX
instead of CYS in the extended structure the valence gets all wonky but I
get multipole data for atoms 9 and 90. Atom 2, even without explicit
bridge, still has the weird zero multipole entry. In other words, I have
not been able to get a working, even if hacky, solution to the problem.

I'll try to run the prmtop+inpcrd with removed zero-multipole through
Sander's analysis to get an energy and compare it to Tinker's.

Thank you,
Eugene Yedvabny
