Re: [AMBER] constrain nitrate as bound and neutral

Hi Pengfei,

The U ion was treated as independent residue all the time. I mean the
residue number, such as following. The former time, I use a residue
number of "1", which can not generate files at the first step of
MCPB.py. When change to "3" or other number but not "1", it is ok.
However, I test that some element such as FE, ZN with a residue number
"1", it is still ok. The PDB file is strictly following the format of
version 3.

ATOM 1 U U 3 0.000 0.001 -0.001 1.00 0.00
          U
ATOM 2 O2 MYL 2 -0.001 1.753 0.001 1.00 0.00 O
ATOM 3 O3 MYL 2 0.000 -1.752 -0.003 1.00 0.00 O


Yours,
Liyang
