Re: [AMBER] tleap split lipid when it shouldn't

Hi Maximilien,
If you could attach the input pdb, that would help. As Callum mentioned,
pdb4amber seems to be the culprit. As the parts of the lipids are
considered residues, TER flags are added where they shouldn't. This is also
the case with tleap, which will add these TER flags to the pdb that comes
out (but not to the output topology file!!!!). This means that once you
process your pdb file once with tleap, if you get a pdb file as output, you
can not process that pdb again with tleap unless you remove the TER flags
in between the lipid residues that make one unit (that is, as an example
OL-PC-OL-TER-OL-PC-OL-TER-....). tleap was not made to handle membrane
systems particularly, and you will get these messages that the lipids are
being split into residues. You can check if your heads and tails are
actually bonded with parmed, like:

parmed -p parmtop_of_your_system
printBonds :PC :OL (or whatever head an tail you are using)

Hope it helps,
