I'm not really sure. In my opinion, any residue in Amber's standard set
should be present, yet none of the "abnormal" protonation states are (i.e.
protonated carboxylates or deprotonated amines). Since this works, I'll go
ahead and add those to the list for upcoming amber releases.

All the best,
Jason
