Hi everyone,  
I’m have a some problem when I try to run parameterization using Amber.

here the log file:  
------- .R\<LIG 391\>.A\<C 1\> and .R\<LIG 391\>.A\<O 2\>  
FATAL: Atom .R\<LIG 391\>.A\<C 1\> does not have a type.  
FATAL: Atom .R\<LIG 391\>.A\<O 2\> does not have a type.  
FATAL: Atom .R\<LIG 391\>.A\<H 3\> does not have a type.  
Failed to generate parameters  
Parameter file was not saved.

I already try to change the atom type but it doesn’t work.

Hello!

I recognize that this is LEaP output text, and I believe I know what’s the problem.  
I see your residue name is LIG, so I have to assume that you are using a non-standard ligand. For those, you have to build topology and charges manually. AmberTools has a program [Antechamber](http://ambermd.org/tutorials/basic/tutorial4b/) you can use for that, check out the hyperlink. The problem you’re experiencing in LEap will be solved once Antechamber creates atom types.

I see this was posted 6 days ago, so I hope you already managed to solve the problem. If not, I hope this helps.

Best regards,  
Sonja
