Hi Gustaf, glad that 'graft' worked for you.

As far as your parameter issue, there are a few things you could try.
Probably the most straightforward is to load the structure mol2 from
'graft' into leap (it should still have all the original atom types),
note which bonds/angles/dihedrals leap complains are missing
parameters, then find the best parameters by analogy in
parm10.dat/parm19.dat (or similar) in $AMBERHOME/dat/leap/parm, or you
can run the mol2 through antechamber and see what parameters gaff
assigns to it (or do both and pick what you think is best).

Hope this helps,

-Dan
