Good point! But there is a way around this as well, which should always be run when building a new PSF, anyway. Just add the line
regenerate angles dihedrals
to your psfgen script after building all segments and applying patches. I believe angles and dihedrals do get rebuilt when making segments but not when applying patches.
Best,
JC

Just check the supplementary information of the JCC paper, or why not simply have look at the file you are trying to use – “toppar_all36_na_rna_modified.str” is a human-readable text file, and it is quite clear that 6MA is a RESIdue and not a patch (PRES): <>
