This is not as easy as it should be. You basically have to create a terminal
phosphate-capped nucleotide, and link it in.
I'v attached some files we have used for a 5' guanine with an terminal
phosphate, for RNA simulations. The appropriate commands in leap would be:
loadAmberPrep 5gp.prepi
source leaprc.rna.ff99
loadAmberParams frcmod.5gp
x = loadpdb 5gp_test.pdb
saveAmberParm x prmtop prmcrd
Notes:
With just an obvious phosphate force field, bad things can happen with the
terminal H atom. We "cheated" by adding an artificial P--H bond to keep the
geometry of the terminal P-O-H group fixed (as in TIP3P water, for example).
Because of the above, you have to load this prep file *before* loading the
leaprc file. This is a bug in leap, which will get fixed, but for now, this
workaround should do. (Try the other order to see the problem.)
Charges above are RESP for this nucleotide; you would need to do something
similar for the A,C,U if you needed those...
.hope this helps...good luck...dac
[Note: I forgot that the reflector won't take attachments....files are
