Hello,

I have two questions:

1- I need to run NAMD on a model which contains a peptide chain with a K-linked ubiquitin. Is there a topology file/patch for the Ub-Cterm-NZ-lysine peptide bond?

2- I am trying to cap the N-termini with ACE, as they are not true N-termini. I used the top_all22_prot topology file and VMD autoPSF module. However, I keep getting this message:

ERROR: failed to apply patch
MOLECULE DESTROYED BY FATAL ERROR! Use resetpsf to start over.

Thanks in advance,
