Re: [AMBER] How do you place two molecules in one water box?

Is it not possible to do something like the following with your
molecules? (substituting pdb for mol2 here because I have pdb's handy
to use for testing)

m1 = loadpdb molecule1.pdb
m2 = loadpdb molecule2.pdb
translate m2 { 0.0 15.0 0.0 } # or however far in whichever direction
mall = combine { m1 m2 }
# optionally add counterions to mall and/or solvate it
saveamberparm mall mall.parm7 mall.rst7
quit

Thus far I have tried two different methods of loading the two molecules into the box. First I manually combined the two molecules into a single mol2 file. Second I tried turning EDTA into a residue and adding it in xLEaP using the addions command. Neither of these methods worked for placing the two molecules in the same water box. I am wondering if anyone has experience with placing two molecules in the same water box and could offer some advice or point me to an appropriate tutorial?
