Lekpa,
Take a look at the following article:
"Reparameterization of RNA ÷ Torsion Parameters for the AMBER Force Field
and Comparison to NMR Spectra for Cytidine and Uridine", Ilyas Yildirim,
Harry A. Stern, Scott D. Kennedy, Jason D. Tubbs and Douglas H. Turner
http://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/ct900604a
We reparameterized the CHI torsions for the RNA residues. What you want to
do is probably similar to what we did. Hope this helps.
Best,
Ilyas Yildirim, Ph.D.
