So I should find a PNA in the Protein Data Bank and then use it to get
the parameters for nucgen and the charges for the residues?
Is this correct?
Also, looking at the nucgen documentation, I need to find helical height
and repeat angle, could I get that from the pdb file too?

Best Regards,

Armin

Hi Armin,

There are several PNA structures available in the Protein Data Bank. Use
the keyword "PNA" as your search term. You can use Antechamber to
calculate the charges for your PNA residues.

Hope this helps.

Rhonda
