Respected all,
Even I am facing the same issue using AMBER18 recently. The procedure I
followed is almost similar, but my ligand is combined to a G-quadruplex
structure in tleap. But in frcmod file, even I am getting such high penalty
scores and my aromatic ligand also shows planarity distortion. Have
enquired regarding the same sometime back but did not get any response.
Hope this time someone might be able to give some insight on this.
Thank you
