Isolated zwitterionic amino acids are not included in the standard
fragment libraries included with Amber. There are C-terminal and
N-terminal residues (so you can make a zwitterionic dipeptide), but if
you want a zwitterionic amino acid you will need to parametrize a new
residue using something like antechamber or R.E.D.
