[AMBER] Error in generating parameters for BMT residue in Cyclosporin and Leap Error in Bond command

Dear Amber Users

I am trying to simulate cyclosporin in water. For the N-methylated
residues, I am using the FF_NCAA files. For the Bmt residue, I am trying to
generate the forcefield parameters using GAFF, following this tutorial at
https://ambermd.org/tutorials/basic/tutorial4b/

However, I am getting the following error:
/antechamber: Fatal Error!

Cannot properly run /bin/sqm -O -i sqm.in -o sqm.out".

The sqm.out file gives:
QMMM: System specified with odd number of electrons ( 57)
                          QMMM: but odd spin ( 1). You most likely have
the charge of QMMM: QM region
(qmcharge) set incorrectly. Correct error and re-run calculation.


Can someone please help me understand and rectify this?
Or if anyone has a parameter file for Bmt that they may have used earlier,
I'll be really obliged.



Also, when I am trying to run leap with the structure, I am using the
following in the leap.in file:

source leaprc.protein.ff14SB
                                                source leaprc.gaff

                        loadAmberPrep ../ncaa_ff/ffncaa.in

mod1=loadAmberParams ../ncaa_ff/MLE.frcmod


mod2=loadAmberParams ../ncaa_ff/MVA.frcmod


mod3=loadAmberParams ../ncaa_ff/NMG.frcmod


mod4=loadAmberParams ../ncaa_ff/ABA.frcmod




    seq = { ALA MLE MLE MVA BMT ABA NMG MLE VAL MLE ALA }
                    cycpep = loadPDBusingseq backbone.pdb seq
                                                    bond cycpep.1.N
cycpep.11.C
                            savepdb cycpep cyclosporin_out.pdb

saveAmberParm cycpep csp.top csp.crd
                                     quit

There seems to be an error with the bond command:

bond: Argument #1 is type String must be of type: [atom]
                              usage: bond <atom1> <atom2> [order]


Can someone please help me identify where I am going wrong here?

Thanks a lot
Suchetana
