Hi all,
What approach to use to generate a topology file for peptides which include artificial residues such as serine with its sidechain extended by two carbons to double bond with another such residue i.e.
CA-CB-OG-C1-C3=C4-C2-OG-CB-CA
Also I need to generate a topology for another type of artificial peptide which includes beta-3 residues (C inserted in mainchain between CA and C ). Say I want to use a force field other than the 2 supported by the PRODRG2.5 server. I have tried to defining ff*.rtp residue definitions, but .top generated by pdb2top are missing defaults essential for grompp (gb_ gd_). The residue definitions have only [ atom ] specifications, allowing the other sections to default as per the manual.
Well, then the defaults don't apply for whatever you've tried to connect. 
Basically, check out the *bon.itp file for your force field and make sure the 
parameters that you think you are generating are actually there, and then check 
the naming you've given your atom types to make sure it is appropriate and 
compatible with the ones that the force field is expecting.
Without showing us what you've tried, it's difficult to diagnose.
