Re: [AMBER] "Atom does not have a type" despite adding .frcmod parameters

For some reason I didn’t see your original post with the files.

Did you load your ccl2_fragH.mol2 file into leap before you added your pdb file?
Did you rename your ccl2_fragH.mol2 residue name PCA in your mol2 file?

You’re right your new non-standard residue is not being recognized. Every non-standard residue needs to have a .lib file (or mol2 file) and an frcmod file loaded. If you look at some of the leaprc files available, you will see that they always load in an lib file and then the frcmod file. You have to tell leap the you have a new residue named PCA with certain atom types. Then you need to load in an frcmod file that tells leap that your new PCA residue has parameters.
