Hi all,

Thank you very much for your responses.

Andrew, here is my ac.frcmod:
MASS

BOND

ANGLE

DIHE

IMPROPER
c3-n -c -o 10.5 180.0 2.0 General
improper torsional angle (2 general atom types)
c -ca-n -hn 1.1 180.0 2.0 General improper
torsional angle (2 general atom types)
ca-ca-ca-n 1.1 180.0 2.0 Using default
value
ca-ca-ca-ha 1.1 180.0 2.0 General improper
torsional angle (2 general atom types)
ca-ca-ca-oh 1.1 180.0 2.0 Using default
value

NONBON

There appears to be no missing dihedral parameters.

Dac, by dihedral pairs, I mean the set of four atoms that make up a
dihedral angle. Perhaps I should have chosen a better term than pair! As
you suggested, I looked in to parmed. Thank you for showing me this, as I
was not previously aware of this utility. It seems the issue is that when
antechamber generated the prmtop file, it lists two sets of parameters for
one dihedral angle. Specifcially, this is what I find.

printDihedrals .6
... (list of all other parameters)
        6 O2 ( o) 5 C7 ( c) 7 N1 ( n) 8
H6 ( hn) 2.0000 1.0000 0.0000 1.2000 2.0000
M 6 O2 ( o) 5 C7 ( c) 7 N1 ( n) 8 H6
( hn) 2.5000 2.0000 180.0001 1.2000 2.0000

printDihedrals .1
....(list of all other parameters)
M 4 H9 ( hc) 1 C8 ( c3) 5 C7 ( c) 6
O2 ( o) 0.0800 3.0000 180.0001 1.2000 2.0000
          4 H9 ( hc) 1 C8 ( c3) 5 C7 ( c)
7 N1 ( n) 0.0000 2.0000 180.0001 1.2000 2.0000

Could someone tell me what that M means? Also, it is not clear to me where
the M parameters come from. I looked thoroughly through the gaff.dat file,
and count not find these M-sets of parameters for any IDIVP. The non-M
parameters come from the X -c -c3-X and X -c -n -X dihedral parameter
values. Could someone explain to me what is happening?
