Hey
You can try to have the structure in the amber pdb format and then try to solvate
Try this : pdb4amber -i input structure -o output.pdb -y

Regards
Sowmya

Just to add to what Carlos said: a more general answer to this type of
problem.

A reminder: tleap is really just a bookkeeping program: it reads in libraries
of residues/molecules (called units) that Amber knows about. Then it
just tries to match residue and atom names in the input pdb file with those
in the library. It doesn't know any chemistry, or what anything "means": it
just matches these things up.

At any point, you can use the "list" command to see what units tleap knows
about, i.e. what units have been loaded into its memory. Unless that list
shows the residue SPM, it won't be able to process a pdb file that has an SPM
residue.

If you have a non-standard residue, like SPM, the usual (although by no means
only) way to proceed is to first build the library using antechamber. The
R.E.D. website is another popular service that can help you to do this.
Or, a Google search on "amber spermine parameters" will give you pointers
to how others have done similar calculations.

So, although tleap is the program that is reporting the error, your real
problem probably lies in the lack of an Amber library file that describes
SPM.

...hope this helps...dac
