(a) Use the code, Luke! I'm serious: you need to gain confidence in your
*own* ability to answer questions like these by examining the code to
understand how it works. Often, all you need is some extra print
statements
to give more detailed information.
(b) My guess: you don't mention anything about what "addAtomTypes"
commands
you are giving to LEaP. The leaprc.ff99 file defines HA and H as element
"H",
but says nothing about HZ and HD. So, if you used this leaprc, and didn't
do
additional work, it probalby doesn't think HZ is hydrogen (what is HZ,
anyway?) It's the element that is key, not the mass, or the name, or
anything
else. You have to make sure that LEaP knows about the atom types you are
using, and associates them correctly with elements.
