Francois provided a suggestion. If you are that worried about the charge
definition of NMA, then you might as well rederive charges for the whole
molecule. The existing residues had charges derived as capping residues
(as Francois pointed out). What this means is that the charges of ACE and
NME were constrained to give the appropriate charges to the amino acid
residues. Since these constraints would not be present in the charge
derivation of a pure NMA molecule, you could probably get a better RESP fit
by refitting charges.
Good luck,
Jason
