Does this Lys-Glc belongs to a peptide? if yes, this likely means you
need a central fragment for this modified amino-acid. You might decide
to start from a dipeptide; i.e. ACE-AA*-NME; AA* is your modified
amin-acid; i.e. Lys-beta-D-Glucose.

See http://q4md-forcefieldtools.org/Tutorial/Tutorial-3.php#15

or, you might decide to split your molecules into two parts; a glyco
part and a AA part...

regards, Francois
