[AMBER] How to put ACE and NME on the ends of a missing loop

Dear Amber users,

the object is quite self-explanatory: I have a protein (crystallographic
structure from the PDB) where a loop is missing, and I would like to cap
the ends with ACE and NME. I tried to do it with Molden, but then Leap
cannot recognize the atom type!!

This is the *PDB* file I'm loading in tLeap:

This is the *leap input*:



*source leaprc.constphrho = loadPDB rho.pdbsaveAmberParm rho rho.parm7
rho.rst7quit*

And this is the* leap.log* (final part; complete file in attachment):

How can I solve this?
