Re: [AMBER] There is a bond of 8.882728 angstroms between: [Blank]

This smells like a missing residue(s) problem--there is a loop or some
other part of the protein that is not observed in the X-ray structure due
to disorder. These residues have been omitted. Write the following input
for mdgx:

cat > mdgx.in << EOF
&files
  -p <your prmtop>
  -c <your inpcrd>
&end

&configs
  count 1
  verbose 1
  maxcyc 2
  outbase 'Conf',
  write 'pdb',
&end
EOF

Then run mdgx -O -i mdgx.in... this will apply the 'configuration sampling'
protocol which is really for making large numbers of conformational
variants of small molecules (I know oyu know this, I'm saying it for the
listserv). Here, we're taking advantage of the checks it puts on each
resulting configuration: it tells us where the strain was. The maxcyc 2
won't converge, and mdgx will print no results (not even the 1 we asked
for) because the sanity checks fail. (This is assuming that the problem is
a missing few residues in the protein). Sure enough, here's the result at
the bottom of the mdgx mdout file:

 - Configuration 1:
     Strain is 27322.3495 for bond C -N (4048, 4050)
     Strain is 35.0364 for angle CA -C -N (4045, 4048, 4050)
     Restraint binding atoms () strained to 0.0000

So look at atoms 4048 and 4050--a peptide bond is stretch between some
residues that look skipped. The atom numbering got a little jumbled when
tleap created the topology, but I reproduced your error with the "bond of
8.882 between..." and we can run ambpdb -p [your topology] < [your
coordinates] > [new pdb file] to see what the topology really looks like.
Here are the aforementioned atoms in that structure:

ATOM 4046 HA2 GLY 259 29.274 48.036 -30.126 1.00
0.00 H
ATOM 4047 HA3 GLY 259 30.160 47.170 -29.179 1.00
0.00 H
ATOM 4048 C GLY 259 30.907 49.072 -29.422 1.00
0.00 C
ATOM 4049 O GLY 259 30.492 49.715 -28.456 1.00
0.00 O
ATOM 4050 N ASN 260 31.807 49.055 -38.259 1.00
0.00 N
ATOM 4051 H ASN 260 32.316 49.075 -39.131 1.00
0.00 H
ATOM 4052 CA ASN 260 30.347 49.097 -38.308 1.00
0.00 C

So, missing residues between GLY 259 and ASN 260.
