Re: n terminal patch on proline

Hi Dhiraj,
if you haven't also edited your topology file, then you probably don't
HAVE a PROPN patch present, which would be the problem. I'm not aware of
a deprotonated proline patch out there for the charmm forcefield; you
may be able to find one by googling a bit, or (depending on how rigorous
you want to be) create one by editing the PROP patch to have no proton
and the appropriate charges (which you can get either ideally from a QM
run, or less ideally from a similar fragment you find in a charmm or
non-charmm topology somewhere).
