I don't think LEaP makes any use of geometry (or atom overlaps, etc.) in
determining what angles and dihedral parameters it needs. So it should not be
inhibited by the lack of a good starting model. You can use the "edit"
command in LEaP to see visually what bonds are present, or the "desc" command
to get a printed list. Maybe studying these will help you to figure out what
is wrong with the residue definitions you have. If you can't figure it out,
post a sample error message and the smallest construct that shows the problem.
....good luck...dac
