searching for "bad atom type" in the sander code
shows that this is an error message generated by
mdread.f, in the section that calculates parameters for the
surface area calculation. There is no parameter for
Iodine. You will need to find and add this parameter,
or else use gbsa=0 (and not do the SA calculation).
