[AMBER] Error in xleap: water molecules

Dear Amber users,

I have a system with 190868 atoms, where the majority of them are related with water molecules. When I loaded this pdb file in xleap, I got the following warning:

*********************************************************

Warning: Atom names in each residue should be unique.
     (Same-name atoms are handled by using the first
      occurrence and by ignoring the rest.
      Frequently duplicate atom names stem from alternate
      conformations in the PDB file.)

***************************************************************

In order to avoid this warning, I tried to modify the chain name of the water molecules. For example:


******************************
...
ATOM 86601 O WAT J9998 61.617 8.400 386.143 1.00 0.00 O
ATOM 86602 H1 WAT J9998 62.461 8.804 386.345 1.00 0.00 H
ATOM 86603 H2 WAT J9998 61.347 7.985 386.962 1.00 0.00 H

ATOM 86612 H2 WAT L 2 56.291 44.413 14.906 1.00 0.00 H
TER

*****************************

However, It seems the xleap did not recognize these different chain names. Thus, I got the same warning aforementioned.

Besides, the big problem is: when I generate the prmtop and inpcrd files, I realize that my system contains only 188640 atoms, instead of the 190868 atoms (real number).

Could anyone help me with this problem?

Sincerely,

Eduardo.
