Folks,
I have created a RESI entry in top_heav.lib for a ligand of interest to me. When run without attempting to patch anything the RESI is accepted just fine and models are made with the appropriate ligand in an appropriate location.
In reality the ligand forms a covalent bond with the protein. This is a Schiff Base linkage.
My RESI is an aldehyde. The covalent bond is to the NZ of a lysine. I am deleting hydrogens from the LYS and the aldehyde oxygen from from the ligand to make the bond of interest to me.
I created a PRES entry based on the disulfide example.

When I perform a test run of the code patch.py from the on-line manual (where I have added "env.io.hetatm=true" to read the ligand). The program appears to run but the log file shows numerous entries of this sort
r_stere_607W > Cannot find parms in parm file Then remarks indicate that it has "added" some parms; so it gets past some instances where explicit information has not been supplied.
It gets to a particular dihedral involving an atom that is supposed to be deleted by the patch ( see line above- 'DELE ATOM 2:O32' is the line in top.heav.lib; this is the aldehyde oxygen) and stops.
The final line reads simply:
FATAL error: assertion nbndpf < mbndpf failed in r_stereo.F90, line 608
At this point that error means absolutely nothing to me.
The entries in the parm.lib file are often redundant for many entries. Are the columns described somewhere?
Do I need to have explicit entries in the parm file for an atom that I hope to delete?
I have not deciphered how to designate bond order in either the RESI entry or the PRES entry lines. How does one specify bond order?
