Hello everyone,
I am new to AMBER so let me quickly beg your pardon in case my challenge is
too simple.

I'm trying to build the prmtop and inpcrd from Xleap for DNA-CISPLATIN
complex (PDB ID : 2npw). Following some tutorials and using force field
parameters from previous work, I have been able edit the complex (which I
just called dna) to include the atom types PT for Platinum, NB1/NB2 for the
N7 guanine bound to Pt, N31/N32 for the Pt-bound ligand nitrogen, H3 for
the Proton bound to N31/N32. I then saved the changes in library (called
dna.lib).
 Afterwords I typed the following commands in tleap

> source leaprc.DNA.OL15
> source leaprc.gaff
>loadoff dna.lib
> check dna

Afterwords , I typed this:

So I don't understand why I kept having this response since I specified
these torsion parameters in my dna.frcmod file. I have attached the frcmod
file so you can take a look. Please note that the values are just for the
sake of learning, they are not all accurate.

Thank you.
