[AMBER] unable to solvate a polymer

Dear Amber users,


I want to simulate a polymer in solution. Since this is the first time I am
trying to do something like this, I followed Tutorial A27, where a similar
polymer is prepared in the gas-phase. I managed to set up the system in the
gas-phase, but the problem comes when I try to solvate the system. To do
that, I modified a tleap input that I used previously with success to set
up a protein system:


source leaprc.gaff

source leaprc.water.tip3p

loadamberprep peg.prepi

loadamberprep hpg.prepi

loadamberprep tpg.prepi

mol = sequence {HPG PEG PEG PEG PEG PEG PEG PEG PEG PEG PEG PEG PEG PEG PEG
PEG PEG PEG PEG TPG}

solvateoct mol TIP3PBOX 12.0

saveAmberParm mol peg.prmtop peg.inpcrd

savepdb mol peg.pdb

quit


But to my surprise, the topology file is not generated, and looking at the
leap.log file, I found the following:


> source leaprc.water.tip3p

Could not open file leaprc.water.tip3p: not found


But as I said, I used the input file for another system, and tleap found
the “leaprc.water.tip3p” file and solvated the system without any error.
The only remarkable difference is that I loaded the “leaprc.protein.ff14SB”
instead of “leaprc.gaff”. Can anyone please provide an explanation for this
issue?


Many thanks in advance,


Jon Mujika
