Re: [AMBER] Zinc parameterization

In my protein, it is every four cysteine with one Zinc ion, and these two
units of Cys4-zn are not linked together. The disulfide formed in one unit
between two Cysteines.
Actually, I also have this problem with other proteins that two adjacent
cys form S-S, and then in leap it will report missing parameter for the
s-s.
Hope I made the question clear. Please let me know if you have any
suggestions. Thank you!

Nadia
