Dear Vasilis,

I'm not sure capping (or not) has a definitive answer, so by default I'd
use what Chimera / pdb4amber would use by default,
I better trust their developpers.

For non standard amino acids, if they are not too complex (i.e. only
using modified amino acids), there a database to find some of them:
- http://amber.manchester.ac.uk/ (for AMBER)
- http://vienna-ptm.univie.ac.at (GROMACS and AMBER)
- MRP.py to model non existing ones (MRP.py: A Parametrizer of
Post-Translationally Modified Residues,
https://pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.1021/acs.jcim.0c00472), that I found
useful in a recent work on modelling TPM nucleosome modifications.

(not answering the second part).

HTH,

Stéphane
