Hello everyone,

          I want use xplor-nih to calculate a special cyclic peptide. The
sequence of this peptide is 'Ac-AspAlaAlaDapAlaAla-NH2', where Dap is a
unnatural amino acid similar to Lys without CG and CE groups. The N
terminal of Asp connect to a CH3-CO- group, and the C terminal of Ala
connect to a -NH2 group.The side chain -CO-OH group of Asp and the side
chain -NH3 group of DAP make a cyclic peptide connection by "Asp-CO-NH-DAP".

           I want to generate a PSF file about this peptide. I think it may
be good to define Ac-Asp part as one unnatural amino acid which I named
ACD, thus the peptide can be wrote as "ACD ALA ALA DAP ALA ALA" in
Xplor-NIH formate. So the question is how to generate a cyclic connection
between ACD and DAP side chain in the protocol?  I read the example file in
eginput, but it looks like no case like this.

            I also attached the definition of ACD and DAP I wrote for
protein.top file. I hope someone can check whether it is correct.

             Thanks!
