Thanks for your response. Please refer to the trailing mail.

My parent AA residue for this modified unit is ASP and it has been
modified by fictionalization at it's N-terminal 'N' atom. So I added
an extra oxygen atom (name O and atom number 56 in PDB file) to the C
terminal 'C' atom of the modified AA residue to complete it's
structure. I mentioned total charge as -2 (one unit of negative charge
for side chain carboxylate and one unit for C-terminal carboxylate)
and generated .ac file using antechamber, following tutorial B5. As,
the modified AA residue is at C terminal end, while I wrote .mc file,
I mentioned only TAIL_NAME, MAIN_CHAIN, OMIT_NAME, POST_TAIL_NAME and
CHARGE. Here in .mc file, I gave CHARGE -1, as there will be only side
chain carboxylate group, once this modified AA residue is connected to
a polypeptide chain.

Please find the PDB file, .ac file and .mc file, what I have used for
this modified AA residue, in attachment. Here is the error came when I
called prepgen as given in tutorial B5.

COMMAND USED- prepgen -i
