Oggetto: Re: [AMBER] tleap box neutralization
The first time I tried sending this email, the uncompressed patch caused
the message to bounce. I'm sending it again (so the bounced email
waiting for approval can be discarded).

This is actually only true for positive charges (i.e., when anions need
to be added for neutralization). By contrast, both charges -1.001 and
-0.998 result in 1 monovalent cation being added.

The file is commands.c. I actually adjusted this behavior back in
September of last year to always add the number of ions that will get
the charge closest to neutral. However, this fix is only present in the
developmental version of Amber (which will be released in April as the
next AmberTools release). In the meantime, I've attached a patch file
that implements these changes in AmberTools 14.
You can apply it by downloading it and using update_amber to apply it:
cd $AMBERHOME
./update_amber --apply /path/to/leap.patch.bz2
