Hi Anselm,

This makes a lot sense! Thank you!
Yes, this should be the only place the default generated prmtop record some information related to the chain association.
It is still not possible to know the mapping of chain id if the chain id does not start from A or is not continuous. (say the ligand chain is named X)
I plan to adapt David's idea to use the `add_pdb` application from Amber to add those info in using the same dry PDB as used for tleap.

All the Best,
QZ

Hi Qianzhen,

maybe the conversion program uses the following entry from the top file:

%FLAG ATOMS_PER_MOLECULE
%FORMAT(10I8)

Using those numbers, one could simply run a counter for each molecule
(=chain).

Just a guess...

Best,

Anselm
