like with any other (custom) molecule: from the published literature
and with a text and/or molecule editor program

furthermore, you will likely also need to reparameterize the amino
acid, since the typical parameters are tuned for a specific(!) water
model. if people already criticize the change of water potentials as
inconsistent, you can easily imagine what the attitude towards
changing to a completely different solvent is going to be.
