In the charmm forcefield, you can use the patches ACE and CT2 for first and last, respectively, instead of the default NTER and CTER, when building your segments in psfgen. I tend to do this for all proteins to avoid introducing additional charges at the termini.

I'm thinking of simulating binding of some small peptides a colleague of mine measured experimentally – when he had the peptides synthesized he had them N-terminal acylated and C – terminal amidated. If anyone knows of some parameter sets, it would make my life easier. I'd use either charmm or amber.
