Dear Everyone!
I am trying to create a non-standard residue with antechamber to use
it in tleap. This residue is the isopeptide form of the gly-ser
dipeptide, where the carbonyl group of the glycine is attached to the
-OH group of the serine sidechain. I have created and parametrized
this molecule following the antechamber tutorial for creating
non-standard residues, I also created an frcmod file with parmchk. But
when I try to build a polipeptide chain using my new residue, leap
complains about missing parameters. Basically the missed parameters
are at the joining points of my residue with the rest of the
polipeptide.
The message goes like this (I built a tripeptide in this example after
loading leaprc.gaff and leaprc.ff99SB):

Parameter file was not saved."
Since I want to use the force field ff99SB for my calculations, and
the isopeptide residue was parametrized using gaff the missing
parameters are aviable at both force field, but not recognized because
of the capitalization. I figured I can modify the frcmod file to have
leap handle these angles and bonds and dihedrals, but I could not find
some of the dihedral parameters, neither in parm99.dat or gaff.dat:
O-C-n-c3
CT-C-n-hn
CT-C-n-c3
o-c-N-H
o-c-N-CT
c3-c-N-H
Could you tell me where can I find these parameters, or what
parameters should I use?
Thanks in forward:
Gabor Janzso
