Of all the possible workarounds, I would say this is the least ideal
option; the modified topology invariably ends up in the hands of someone
who runs into problems with it. The arguably better solutions are:
- explicitly instruct CHARMM/psfgen/VMD that "RET" in the pdb corresponds
to "RTAL" in the topology (if possible/applicable)
- edit the PDB so that it says "RTAL" (assuming your software can read the
CHARMM variant of the PDB format that allows for 4-character residue names)
