Dear Ross,
 
Thank you very much for your help. I would like to reset the atom types for the system. In (X-C1-N1-C3) system, X is a transition metal, there is a triple bond between C1 and N1, while C1 and N1 are charged negatively and positively, respectively. I understand that C1 is different from the normal C1 as it bind with X in this complex. While the N1 is also different from the normal N1 type, as it carry a positive one charge, with one triple bond and one single bond.
 
As a start, I could like to borrow the atom types of the normal C1 and N1 to my system, which I will redefine it as C1' and N1'. I am writing to ask where can I found the original setting for normal C1 and N1 atom types using in AMBER. So that I can copy them to the frcmod files for startup.
 
Could you mind to help?
 
Catein

Hi Catein,
 
X is reserved for use as a wild card in dihedral restraints so you are probably getting a very weird set of dihedrals for your whole molecule. I suggest you recreate your atom X and call it something else.
 
As for connect1 and connect0 these refer to the head and tail of the amino acid residues, if your new residue is a nonbonded ligand then you don't need to worry. If it is part of the protein chain then you will need to define the head and tail or it won't get bonded into the protein chain.
 
Note, however, that from the error message you show the residue being referred to has a very strange name. This would suggest that something is wrong with your input pdb file so you might want to check this.
 
Good luck,
Ross

What is the meaning of the error message (Residues lacking connect0/connect1-these don't have chain types marked)? I used these prmtop and inpcrd to do a short min and md calculations. However, the structures destorted and all the energy terms becomes *****. I must have done something wrong here, could you mind to teach me how to do make the corrections?
