thanks kara for your reply. I am sure this will help me. I will let you know
once I am done with this.
I have one question after reading your reply. How will u place the ligand
into the original postion. Because the ligand bound to protein is not
accepted in amber. So what I did is to generate same ligand structure with
chemdraw. Now Antechamber is working fine for this ligand. But how to put
this ligand into actual positon. Any answer. thanks a lot for your
reply.keep posting
