Dear Amber users, dear David,
(whom I want to thank for the answer)
I would like to edit the pdb file manually.
The inhibitor is covalently bound with protein via serine residue.
The idea is to treat the amino acid + covalent ligand as a
single UNIT, i.e., a modified amino acid.
So I change the residue name from SER to the new one, extend it by shifting
there
the inhibitors atoms with their coordinates. And then some questions are
evolving:
1. How/by which rules do I specify sidechain atoms in the pdb (like CA2,
HG13, N3, etc.) ?
2. The enumeration order of the chain will shift, so should I change the
atom numbers of the following residues manually (hundreds and thousands!),
or can be done automaticlly somehow?
Thank you in advance,
Nick

This is generally a (somewhat) complicated problem. Is the amino acid to
which the ligand is bound also changed? If so, you will need to define
a UNIT for tleap for both the modified amino acid and for the (modified)
ligand. Often, it makes sense to treat the amino acid + covalent ligand as
a
single UNIT, i.e., a modified amino acid.

It's not clear what you did here, or if/how you got an entry in the the pdb
file that indicated "unknown atom".

You can certainly manually edit the pdb file, and this is often required.
But remember that tleap needs to have UNITs definined that exactly match (in
both residue names and atom names) the entries in the PDB file.
