Dear Joshi,

Did you read the tutorials at q4md-forcefieldtools.org & in particular:
http://q4md-forcefieldtools.org/Tutorial/Tutorial-3.php#24
    vs
http://q4md-forcefieldtools.org/Tutorial/Tutorial-3.php#25
  where all the fragments are automatically generated from a single
dipeptide molecule.

if something is not clear - just ask a question in the Amber or
q4md-fft mailing list
(http://lists.q4md-forcefieldtools.org/wws/info/q4md-fft).

regards, Francois
