Dear Amber users,

I am trying to parameterize Zn coordinated to HID, HID, GLU and a water molecule and have been following the AMBER advanced tutorial 20 on MCPB.py.

The sidechain model geometry was optimized, force constants calculated for the large model and the sidechain model fchk file generated.
Next, the Merz-Kollman RESP charge calculation was done followed by the Gaussian 09 bug fix and espgen in AMBER.

The tutorial mentions that you should confirm that coordination bonds do not break. How do I check for this?

In the final modelling step using the gaussian output I get the following error:

[llubbe.login2 04072017_MCPBpycontd]$ MCPB.py -i 03072017_NDOM.in -s 2
