Hi Dr.Carlos,

Can it be a reason that while building structure I have determined N and C terminal.

So amber is considering N and C terminal and not allowing it to bond.

So when manually I make it somewhere in pdb it has information of being N and C terminal and it is assigning things that way and not making bond?

Can there be a way by which I can make a structure withouth determining N and C terminal?

While this works, in my experience it nearly always ends up inverting
chiralities or flipping amides, or sometimes putting bonds through the
middle of rings. I mentioned this in a previous version of this thread, it
seems we are starting to repeat things.
