yes...adding dihedral restraints is appropriate here. The script makeCHIR_RST
will do this for you (see Section 6.7.3 of the Users' Manual). It also adds
constraints to prevent chirality flips during high-temperature annealing,
which is usually what you want. Check the output file before using,
especially if you have any peptide bonds that *should* be cis.
...good luck....dac
