Hello AMBER community,

I am developing a DNA system and studying its conformational dynamics with the TCO and TC-Nitro FRET probe pair.

While I work with non-standard residues, I need to create custom force field parameters so that I can use them in the simulations with AMBER.
Up to now, I have:
1.Created individual probe parameters in Antechamber.
2.Tried forming a bond between the modified probe and the DNA in tleap.

Now, the issue I have is that I am getting errors with the bond command in tleap and I do not know what steps to take next.
Errors:

Building improper torsion parameters.
 total 332 improper torsions applied

I would appreciate any help regarding:
1.The approaches to complete the parameterization and integration of such DNA FRET probes into a DNA system in AMBER.
2.The ion and parameter sets for TCO and TC-Nitro that are used with TLEAP.
3.Inter-residue bond construction in tleap and associated troubleshooting.

Thanks for your assistance in advance!
