Kenno,

thanks again for the explanation!

By the way what maximum penalty value can be refined by means of VMD's
topology plugin ?

Also I'll be thankful if some one helps me with psfgen

Using my CGMP mollecule sas the input and charm 36 params I've generated
topology (using GUA and PRESS CY35 entries). Below you can find my script
where I applied CY35 patch on A:1 which is the my whole cgmp molecule. I'm
not quite sure here if I should define both joined atoms explicitly here
(in that case O3' and P)

package require psfgen
resetpsf
topology top_all36_na.rtf
segment A {
pdb input.pdb
first NONE
last NONE
}
coordpdb input.pdb A

guesscoord
patch CY35 A:1
AUTOGEN ANGLE DIHE

writepsf ligand.psf
writepdb ligand.pdb

Here you can see 2 outputs with and without applied patch. As You can see
the only defference is 1 extra bond when patch was used without any
additions in dihedral terms. Does it correct in case of cyclic nucleotides?
