Subject: RE: AMBER: Problem saving file in xleap

Dear Ross,

   I tried the same procedure with leaprc.ff99 but I still had the same
problem. The system I am modelling is a monofunctional Pt complex bound
to a guanine, the chlorine is coordinated to the platinum. According to
your tutorial I guess I should edit the guanine residue in DNA and
create a new one with the complex on it. I will try this procedure and
I'll keep you posted.

  Many Thanks.

Atilio.
