[AMBER] issues with non-bonded and bonded force field parameterisation for Arsenic

Hi all,

Recently, I have been trying to derive the force field parameters for As3+ ion (non-bonded parameters) and H3AsO4 molecule (bonded parameters). I have seen similar queries in this mailing list but unfortunately, they weren’t quite helpful in resolving my problem even after following the suggestions. So, I would like to request for your support in deriving the force field parameters for the above two cases.

1) For a single As3+ ion, I created the As.pdb with AS and ARS as the atom and residue name. Then, I generated the As. mol2 file by using metalpdb2mol2.py -i As.pdb -o As.mol2 -c 3. Following the instructions in the 12-6 LJ non-bonded example for Zn ion, I have adapted the tleap input for As3+ ion. See below the input file.

tleap -s -f As_test.in > As_test.out

-----As_test.in-------

source leaprc.protein.ff14SB

source leaprc.gaff

source leaprc.water.tip3p

loadoff ARS.lib

mol = loadpdb As.pdb

savepdb mol As_Sys.pdb

saveamberparm mol As_Sys.prmtop As_Sys.inpcrd

quit

-----End of As_test.in------

On running the command (tleap -s -f As_test.in > As_test.out), I get one error which says “For atom (.R<ARS 1>.A<AS 1>) could not find vdW (or other) parameters for type (As3+)”. How do I fix this problem? As an alternative solution, Can I use the UFF force field parameters for As3+ ions as tleap also picks these parameters from UFF?

2) For the Arsenic acid (H3AsO4), I replaced As with P as suggested in the mailing list and generated the mol2 file using antechamber without any issues. Executing the command (MCPB.py -i H3AsO4.in -s 1) led to an error (see below) in gauio.py file. How can I resolve this issue?

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/soft/opensoft/amber20_src/bin/MCPB.py", line 651, in <module>

    chg = int(round(chargedict[ionname], 0))

KeyError: 'P'

Thank you,

Srinivasa
