Your whole exercise is to reduce the prmtop to the absolute necessary!
So no need to have two descriptions of water as you are planning to
eliminate one copy anyway. You could only load that chain twice where
you are planning to do the perturbation, and possibly fiddle with
smaller subsets. You may have trouble to convince leap to accept small
fragments though. So it might be easier to use parmed to eliminate a
single chain.

I still do not understand why you believe that :1-520 and :521-1036
would be the two identical copies. The latter mask clearly has 4
residues less! You still have residues in scmask1 and scmask2 which
you also have in the first two masks (the last two ranges in the
third and fourth mask)... You are working with botched masks here, so
even if you manage to create a prmtop it will very likely be just as
botched.

I strongly suggest that you reread my previous answers and also the
manual.


Cheers,
Hannes.
