Re: [AMBER] Capping a dipeptide with Boc

Dear Saikat,
actually we used BOC, as can be seen by all images and tables, but in
the methods at p27 of the SI "acetyl" is reported instead of BOC (we
never check enough...).

Here is attached the off and frcmod files we used. By loading them into
leap you can build your peptide using BOC. For example, to build a
capped dialanine peptide, you can use the following:


loadoff BOC.off
loadamberparams BOC.frcmod
peptide = sequence {BOC ALA ALA NME}
saveamberparm peptide peptide.prmtop peptide.inpcrd
quit

Best,

Alessandro
