Re: [AMBER] How to add an amidated residue at the C-terminal in AMBER tleap ?

Hello Carlos,

When I tried to load my pdb file in tleap and run it, the final structure is wrong.
So I tried building the structure from scratch in tleap using the following command

AbSOD-15aa-modified = sequence { ACE TRP GLU HID ALA TYR TYR ILE ASP PHE ARG ASN LEU ARG PRO LYS NHE}

and the output structure is correct when I viewed it in chimera.

But when I tried to save the parm7 and rst7 files after solvating the peptide, I got these messages.

saveamberparm AbSOD-15aa-modified parm7 rst7
Checking Unit.

  )
 (no restraints)

Should I fix the charge of the system so it is 0 before doing anything else? Like try adding Cl- ion to neutralize it?
I also don't know if the ACE 1 and NHE1 not being recognized is going to cause a big problem in the simulation.

Thank you.

when building a system in leap, you can either load the pdb, or specify the
sequence if you don't have a structure (technically you can do both, but
that's advanced).
if you have a pdb file, try replacing the "peptide = sequence" command with
"peptide = loadpdb xx.pdb" where xx.pdb is your pdb file name.
