Re: [AMBER] constrain nitrate as bound and neutral

Dear David,

Thank you for your reply! I tried to use MCPB.py to generate the force
field. However, there is a problem at first step. Because the atom type and
residual name of metal element uranium is manually assigned as U, but
MCPB.py can not recognize U. Other metal element with two letters, such as
FE, ZN, PU, has no such problem.

So I am wondering some metal ions such as K, V, Y, U, if the atom type is
K, V, Y, U, while residual name can be made up with 3 capitalized letter.

Thank you very much
Liyang
