Thanks.
I moved the IMPROPERS from NA out of the CMAP section to the "IMPROPER" section.



The other error
Code:
 PARRDR> NOTE: atom type "HT  " is removed from previous group
 PARRDR> NOTE: atom type "OT  " is removed from previous group
[...]
      ***** LEVEL -3 WARNING FROM <PARRDR> *****
      ***** Null nonbond group found. Redo.
      ******************************************

was due to a double definition of OT and HT in the "NONBONDED" section.

Now it works.

You can keep your holy-than-Thou attitude... since this is not the only thing I have to worry about. And frankly said, when processing several thousand lines of code/text a day I might miss a line even by a second and third review. And since I never got this kind of "oh so clear error message" I gave up at some point. Sorry I am a human _error_prone_ being.

Anyway, thanks again for your help.

kind regards
Bjoern

The proper structure of a parameter file is well documented. If you edit (or combine) these files and something breaks, an honest effort to better understand the file format and find your mistake ought to be the initial steps. Posting all your files on the wrong forum and hoping someone will read them and help is another approach, but the wrong forum and simple error indicate someone who is not sufficiently focused on the details. We are also very busy working scientists who answer questions here on a volunteer basis. We appreciate that CHARMM can be difficult to learn, but we also appreciate due diligence before posting.
