[AMBER] : QMMM error - odd number of electrons

Hello,

I am trying to use antechamber to create a mol2 file for my ligand.
I first used the reduce command to reduce my ligand and produced a file lipid_dipal_h.pdb.

When I ran:
antechamber -i lipid_dipal_h.pdb -fi pdb -o lipid_dipal .mol2 -fo mol2 -c bcc -s 2 -nc 0

sqm.out gives me a similar error:
QMMM: System specified with odd number of electrons ( 453)
QMMM: but odd spin ( 1). You most likely have the charge of
QMMM: QM region (qmcharge) set incorrectly. Correct error and re-run calculation.

I checked lipid_dipal_h.pdb in Pymol, but I can’t find anything wrong with it.
It seems like all the hydrogens are added properly. I couldn’t figure out why this is not working for antechamber.

I’m attaching the file lipid_dipal_h.pdb.

Does anyone know how to solve this problem?
I tried looking up similar errors online, and I saw that it might be resulting from the incorrect specification of the charge (-nc).
However, I’m pretty sure the charge of this ligand is 0, and I’ve verified that using the “charge” command in tleap.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!


Best,
Zoey
