For the situations where the coordinate bonds are not specified in the input prep/mol2 file, you need to use the bond command in tleap to specify these coordination bonds.

To my knowledge there is no software to do this kind of work specifically in AmberTools.

Other options would be like H++, which is a web-server to add hydrogens, but it also deletes the water, ion, and non-standard residues during the process. But in the end you could get Amber topology and coordinate files (without water, ion, or non-standard residues), and using ambpdb software you can create the PDB file which has amber-like residue and atom names. Then you can add the water, ion, and non-standard residues to the new PDB file from the former PDB file manually. In the end you can have a PDB file for use in tleap modeling.

Kind regards,
Pengfei

You can preserve the atomic ions in PDB file when modeling related system using tleap due to Amber has library file for atomic ions (atomic_ions.lib in recent versions). However, for the HEME group, Amber doesn’t have standard lib file in its database, you can use the files from here: http://sites.pharmacy.manchester.ac.uk/bryce/amber <http://sites.pharmacy.manchester.ac.uk/bryce/amber>, or you can parameterize the system by using MCPB.py.
