Re: [AMBER] Atom type of NO does not shown up in PARMCHK.DAT

I’ve attached the pdb and mol2 file I used as input to antechamber. I generated these files using xleap by modifying a cytosine nucleotide from OL15. The command I used for antechamber was:

antechamber -i zh.mol2 -fi mol2 -o zh-aa.mol2 -fo mol2 -c bcc -s 2 -at amber -rn ZZH

Thanks,
Reza
