[AMBER] Cyclic peptide

Hi,

In the last few years I have used GROMAC in my research. Recently I moved
to work with amber (amber12).

Currently, I am trying to study cyclic peptides, in which the backbone
amino group of the first residue has a peptide-bond with the carboxyl
backbone group of the last residue. My question is how to do this in tleap.
 I tried to use 'crosslink' and 'bond' but the FF missed parameters. for
this new bond, I guess because tleap translate the residues to N-ter and
C-ter. Is there anyway to overcome it without tinkering the topology file?

The script I am using is:
source leaprc.ff12SB
loadamberparams frcmod.ionsjc_tip3p

mol = loadpdb protein_peptide.pdb
bond mol.228.C mol.241.N

addions mol Cl- 0

alignAxes mol
solvateBox mol TIP3PBOX 12

charge mol
saveAmberParm mol system_1.prmtop system_1.prmcrd
savepdb mol system_1_solvated.pdb
quit

And this is the output:
system_1> tleap
