Maybe not easily (I don't know how much source code you'd have to modify, if
any, a nab expert would have to comment). One thing you CAN do, though, is
to have nab build the initial structure, then edit the PDB, taking out the
atoms that are not present in the modified RNA and changing the residue name
to match the modified RNA in your leap library file. Then load this into
leap and let leap fill in the missing atoms. This way, the overall
structure of the DNA will be built (properly) by nab, but the modified parts
of the nucleic acids will be added by leap.
Good luck!
