This helped a lot. I decided that I want acetylated N-terminus and
methylated C-terminus. Using

first ACE
last CT1

I can get the ends I want, although vmd shows extra bonds that those added
groups have carbons connected to N or C. I am not sure if this is a
problem or not.
I went ahead and used generated psf and pdb files as input for namd
simulation, but I get the following error:

FATAL ERROR: UNABLE TO FIND ANGLE PARAMETERS FOR HB CT1 HB
------------- Processor 0 Exiting: Called CmiAbort ------------
Reason: FATAL ERROR: UNABLE TO FIND ANGLE PARAMETERS FOR HB CT1 HB

Charm++ fatal error:
FATAL ERROR: UNABLE TO FIND ANGLE PARAMETERS FOR HB CT1 HB

The problem seems to be the C-terminal end, omitting "last CT1" namd
simulation runs without problems.

Any idea what the problem is and how it can be solved?

Thanks,
