It looks like there are three types of CENTRAL amino-acids (AA):
the neutral AA, the acidic AA & the basic AA
I guess, it means different strategies were used for these 3 types of AA: It
makes sense.
See also amberX/examples/resp_charge_fit/peptoid the example described by Piotr
Cieplak: As you can see the restaints are in agreement with the NEUTRAL (&
CENTRAL) AA...
If I well understood, you want to derive RESP charges for neutral ARG. You are
lucky, the way to derive the RESP charges of neutral AA is the way described in
the Cieplak et al. paper ;-) See page 1374-1375, only neutral amino-acids are
reported !

OK tomorrow. No manual is available but I will send you an example with the perl
code...
