Peptides and proteins and generally modeled with standard force fields that
have charge models for each of the 20 amino acids. You can find the charges
in the original papers, or in files like this one:

   $AMBERHOME/dat/leap/lib/amino12.lib (for the ff14SB force field)

You don't say what actually happened, but antechamber is designed for *small
molecules* (or inidividual amino acids) not for proteins. The hope is that
you would get a useful error message if you tried to submit an entire protein
to the antechamber program, but that might not always be the case.
