Re: [AMBER] antechamber for two ligands

Hi Aldo and all,

I tried your suggestion, but I am probably doing something wrong, the creation of the .lib and ..prmtop .inpcrd files for both copies go smoothly, but then when I tried to upload the complex of both molecules or even only one as explained in the antechamber tutorial (http://ambermd.org/tutorials/basic/tutorial4b/) this is the result:

AMBER General Force Field for organic molecules (Version 1.5, January 2013)
> loadamberparams RIT1.frcmod
Loading parameters: ./RIT1.frcmod
Reading force field modification type file (frcmod)
Reading title:
remark goes here
> loadoff RIT1.lib
Loading library: ./RIT1.lib
> RIT = loadpdb RIT1.pdb
Loading PDB file: ./RIT1.pdb
Unknown residue: RIT number: 0 type: Terminal/last
..relaxing end constraints to try for a dbase match
  -no luck
Creating new UNIT for residue: RIT sequence: 1
Created a new atom named: C1 within residue: .R<RIT 1>
Created a new atom named: C2 within residue: .R<RIT 1>
Created a new atom named: C3 within residue: .R<RIT 1>
Created a new atom named: C4 within residue: .R<RIT 1>
Created a new atom named: N1 within residue: .R<RIT 1>
Created a new atom named: C5 within residue: .R<RIT 1>
Created a new atom named: C6 within residue: .R<RIT 1>
Created a new atom named: S1 within residue: .R<RIT 1>
.....

Weird because the .lib file looks good:

!!index array str
 "RIT1"
!entry.RIT1.unit.atoms table str name str type int typex int resx int flags int seq int elmnt dbl chg
 "C1" "c3" 0 1 131072 1 6 -0.097100
 "C2" "c3" 0 1 131072 2 6 -0.098000
 "C3" "c3" 0 1 131072 3 6 -0.097100
 "C4" "cc" 0 1 131072 4 6 0.398700
 "N1" "nd" 0 1 131072 5 7 -0.641000


and the .pdb file has the same names:

HETATM 1 C1 RIT 1 -10.994 -7.824 6.364 1.00 0.00 C
HETATM 2 C2 RIT 1 -10.520 -8.901 5.385 1.00 0.00 C
HETATM 3 C3 RIT 1 -11.033 -10.268 5.843 1.00 0.00 C
HETATM 4 C4 RIT 1 -11.054 -8.599 4.009 1.00 0.00 C
HETATM 5 N1 RIT 1 -10.391 -8.378 2.897 1.00 0.00 N
HETATM 6 C5 RIT 1 -11.014 -8.121 1.766 1.00 0.00 C
HETATM 7 C6 RIT 1 -12.371 -8.101 1.766 1.00 0.00 C


What is the problem?

Thanks a lot,

Fabian

For instance, you'll get a set of files for each drug and you should be able to call them inside your leap script.
