Yes, this business of resolving integer charge values by adjusting CB and
its two or three associated hydrogens on side chain analogues is standard.
Not seeing the rest of your original email, if you are doing this, then you
are drawing conclusions about more foundational things than the ff14SB
force field--really I'd say you're looking all the way back to ff95. The
changes in ff99 were van-der Waals parameters on hydrogens, and for ff99SB
there were backbone torsional changes. ff14SB introduced backbone torsion
edits as well as side chain Chi1 / Chi2 edits, but you see where I'm
going--the later force fields didn't change all that much in the actual
side chains, even though they did make changes to improve side chain
rotamer propensities.
