I think you have to decide for yourself what is "proper". Generate some
configurations that have contacts to the arginine that you would like to
allow, and some that you think would not qualify. Then see whether the
restraint generated with the QQHH pseudoatom does a reasonable job of
disriminating between allowed and disallowed conformations.
