Antechamber is designed to create parameters for a single residue or
small molecule, not for polymers. What you want to do is to create a
single amino acid residue: the general procedure for doing this is
outlined in the "green fluorescent protein" tutorial. In brief, you
need to "cap" your desired residue with functional groups, so that you
have a chemically complete molecule. Then run antechamber, and later
remove the capping groups.
(I'm cc-ing this to Junmei, since my understanding was that his group had
simplified procedures for this.)
