Hello,

My protein is pr-DNA complex, it is identifying DNA terminus and searching for N and C in tdb  file giving error. When I select -ter and specify none as termini , it still gives error saying

"There is a dangling bond at at least one of the terminal ends. Fix your coordinate file, add a new terminal database entry (.tdb), or select the proper existing terminal entry. " Please help.

Error without -ter option:

Processing chain 1 'B' (434 atoms, 21 residues) 
Identified residue DADE1 as a starting terminus. 
Identified residue DTHY21 as a ending terminus. 
8 out of 8 lines of specbond.dat converted successfully 
Start terminus DADE-1: NH3+ 
End terminus DTHY-21: COO-
