Re: [AMBER] XLeap didn't save the parameter file

Dear Bill and other Amber users,

after starting XLEaP and loading ff14SB force field parameters by

$AMBERHOME/bin/xleap -s -f $AMBERHOME/dat/leap/cmd/leaprc.ff14SB

I have specified the recommended parameters for monovalent ions in TIP3P
water (12-6-4 set) by Li, Song and Merz in the command line:

frcmod.ions1lsm_1264_tip3p

when trying to save the solvated DNA the parameter file could not be saved
again.

Thank you in advance,
Nick

The solution is to figure which ion parameters to load for your model.
This looks promising:

" The 12-6 LJ nonbonded model is widely used due to its simple form and
excellent transferability. Li et al. have parameterized the 12-6 model
for more than 60 ions spanning from monovalent to tetravalent across the
periodic table.[2]

<http://ambermd.org/tutorials/advanced/tutorial20/#ref6>These parameters
are available in current the AMBER force field Please check the*Amber
force fields-->Molecular mechanics force fields-->Ions*section in the
manual for more details)."
