GLYCAM supports two varieties of sulfur atom. The following lines are from
the file $AMBERHOME/dat/leap/parm/GLYCAM_06j.dat :
S 32.06 sulphur in sulphates
Sm 32.06 sulfane carbohydrate linkage
(-CH2-S-CH2-)
I see in your leap output a bond for sulfur to sulfur - is this a
disulfide-type link? Do you expect such a bond to be present? If so, you
might be able to use the disulfide sulfur from the protein force fields,
but read the next bit.
If your sulfur doesn't fall neatly into one of the already-parameterized
categories, you might need to work out parameters for it rather than try to
just repurpose parameters for other sulfur atom types. GAFF is an approach
that sometimes works quite well for these situations. Whatever you do, if
your system is different, you need to validate the model before using it.
