Re: Error with D-amino acids mid-sequence using NAMD 2.12/2.13b2 and CHARMm36

You should confirm, but aren’t all of the bonded parameters symmetric with respect to l- and d-amino acids? As long as the phase is 0 or 180, it shouldn’t matter (the CMAP is asymmetric though). Meaning you could just copy in the missing ones by hand.

Best,
JC
