[AMBER] TIP3P Water issue with MCPB.py

Hi All,

I’ve been trying to parameterise a metalloenzyme using MCPB.py.

I’ve successfully carried out the DFT calculations for the bonded terms and the partial charges using RESP.

However, when I run tleap, I get an error stating that the H1-Y4-H2 angle is not defined. Y4 is my water oxygen as defined by MCPB.py.

I took a look at the ZAFF.frcmod file and noticed that the HW-O1-HW angle is defined with a force constant of 100 and an angle of 104.5 degrees. I’ve manually added this line to my MCPB.py-generated frcmod file and this seems to have fixed the issue.

I wanted to ask if this might be a bug in the MCPB.py code and if so, could the angle be added automatically?

Many thanks in advance,
