Many thanks Dave. Yes, Shirts paper from 2003 was the first to do this and
then some other people also followed the same procedure. I did check those
papers but didn't find anything in more detail than this. But it is clear
enough and it should be possible by creating and editing lib/off files for
each residue.

I just thought to check if such files are already available somewhere as
GROMOS probably has something like that (I am not sure though!).

Best,
Mish
