[Chimera-users] Problem with added ions in Amber

[George Tzotzos]

In MD movie I loaded complex.prmtop and complex.inpcrd files

In Tools/Amber/Add ions I selected Ion types Na+ to neutralise complex.inpcrd using AMBER ff14SB for standard residues and AM1-BCC for other residues (I’m attaching a snapshot showing the Na+ ions in red).

I then proceeded to solvate the complex using TIP3PBOX and Box size: 9 
NOTE: I unticked the Removed existing ions/solvent box

I obtained the following Warning “Could not determine charges for pre-existing solvent/ions from added solvent/ions for: NA NA

I generated complex_solv.prmtop and complex_solv.inpcrd files

When I checked the complex_solv.prmtop file in cpptraj, I did not see any of the Na+ions (see below).

Is this what should be expected? Should I consider the solvated complex charge neutralised?

Antechamber generated exactly the corresponding complex_solv.prmtop file with Na+ ions 

Thank you in advance for any suggestions.
