Dear Venkat,
some time ago, I generated parameters for an isopeptide bond, i.e.
residues LYX, GLX, and ASX that contain an additional valency like CYX
for cross-linking. I used the approach with blocking groups ACE and NME
and utilized PyRED.
In this way it is possible to build peptides with isopeptide bonds (i.e.
a cross-link between the side chains of LYS, GLU/GLN or ASP/ASN ->
omega-omega-bond) or with alpha-omega bonds (i.e. a link between the
side chain of one residue and the C- or N-terminus of another one). The
parameter set is thus rather versatile.
The respective publication is still about to be submitted, but of course
I'd like to share my work, if you are interested. In that way, please
contact me off the list.
Best regards,
Anselm
