This is a wild-card dihedral: look for X -C -N -X in parm99.dat

Have you applied bugfix.5? Here is what I get for your peptide:

     113: 2.500 3.14 2.0 :1.O :1.C :2.N :2.CA (19,18,20,22)
     114: 0.354 3.14 1.0 :1.C :2.N :2.CA :2.CB (18,20,22,24)
E 115: 0.884 3.14 2.0 :1.C :2.N :2.CA :2.CB (18,20,22,24)
E 116: 0.227 3.14 3.0 :1.C :2.N :2.CA :2.CB (18,20,22,24)
E 117: 0.000 0.00 4.0 :1.C :2.N :2.CA :2.CB (18,20,22,24)

which matches what is in frcmod.ff03.

To all amber users: it is *essential* to apply bugfix.5 if you are planning
to use the ff03 force field.

...hope this helps....dac
