Hi,
We used different algorithms to assign bond types in amber7 and amber8. Please use option "-j 5" for your molecule to generate the prepi file. We are doing some revision to make the programs work better for molecules that have many possible valence states (according to our definition)

All the best

Subject: AMBER: antechamber problems

Dear amber users,

        I run into a problem when I try to produce ligand prep file from gaussian output file by using antechamber in AMBER8.0
    The following is what I did:
    
antechamber -i test.log -fi gout -o test.prep -fo prepi -c resp -nc -1

Cannot successfully assign bond type for this molecule, please :
(1) double check the structure (the connectivity) and/or
(2) adjust atom valence penalty parameters in APS.DAT, and/or
(3) increase MAXVASTATE in define.h and recompile bondtype.C

    Most of atom types in the output file test.prep are wrong. I have checked the structure of the ligand. It is OK. Moreover, the antechamber in AMBER7.0 works fine for this ligand. What's wrong?
    The ligand is NAD+, which I have enclosed as attachment.
    Can anyone tell me how to deal with it? Thank you in advance.
   Best regard,
