[AMBER] D-amino acid library

Hi everyone,



I need to be able to build and simulate D amino acids so I made a new
version of amino12.in. I have structures of the D amino acids heavy atoms,
so I just need to add hydrogens and generate the parameters. With the
exception of Pro, all I did was to swap the PHI(I) terms
<https://ambermd.org/doc/prep.html> for HA and CB to get the correct
chirality when adding hydrogens. For most of the residues, this works fine
and I get a model that has H’s in all the right spots and runs just fine.
However, for three residues, tleap adds HA and HB nearly on top of their
neighboring atoms. (for D-Thr: N and OG1, respectively)



I’ve copied my entry for D-Thr at the end. (modified values in *bold*)
Interestingly, the HB-CB-CA-N dihedral, which should have a value of ~180
degrees, is built with a value of ~60 degrees. I found that setting the
PHI(I) term for HA to 180 and for HB to 45 got those Hs in about the right
positions, but for some reason, changing the HA value affected the
placement of H, which I would not have expected since H’s position should
depend only on the dummy atoms. (How are the dummy atoms placed?)



I’m obviously missing something about how these files work and/or interact
with other configuration files. Thanks for helping me figure out what I’m
doing wrong.



Thanks!

Gard
