You could use those parameters or derive your own set of force field
libraries starting from capped amino-acid analogs. See the tutorial of
R.E.D.-III
http://q4md-forcefieldtools.org/Tutorial/Tutorial-1.php
and in particular
http://q4md-forcefieldtools.org/Tutorial/Tutorial-1.php#10
Then, see how to use Tripos mol2 files as force field libraries in LEaP
http://q4md-forcefieldtools.org/Tutorial/Tutorial-1.php#15
And see a new tutorial written by C. Cezard .
-I.3.3.5- Using Tripos mol2 files in LEaP: Implementation of new
features in LEaP
