[Chimera-users] How to get prmtop file corresponding to a pdb file

[Victor Muñoz]

Dear Mahendra,

The error is due to HIS not being the standard residue name for Histidine
in the Amber force field. In Amber, histidine residues are named either
HIE, HID or HIP depending on their protonation state (
http://ambermd.org/Questions/HIS.html). Change the name of the histidines
on the PDB file accordingly to their protonation state and it should work
fine.

Kind regards,

Victor
