Hi Junmei,

Thanks for your help. I converted my original pdb file into mol2 format
using the exact command you prescribed (using ANTECHAMBER_AC.AC and all),
and that worked just fine. However, now I want to load the file into xLeap,
and I try the commend "x = loadmol2 glu3.mol2" and then tried to view the
structure using "edit x" but xLeap only opens an empty box. Now I'm back at
square one (see my thread http://amber.ch.ic.ac.uk/archive/200708/0330.html),
stuck at figuring how to load a mol2 file into xleap. David Case previously
suggested that I convert it into pdb format, so I tried two things:

1) I converting my new mol2 file BACK into pdb using the command
"/antechamber -i glu3.mol2 -fi mol2 -o glu3.pdb -fo pdb -j 0". But when I
loaded the new pdb file into xleap, I get the error "the file contained 5
atoms not in residue templates."
2) I used my original pdb file. But when I loaded into xleap, I receive the
same error of atoms not being in residue templates.

Basically I am stuck on how to obtain the proper PDB file for this structure
( is it always this hard?!).

I have attached my original pdb, new pdb, and mol2 files for your
convenience. Please advise on what I should do.

Thanks and regards,
Lili
