Hi All,

How does one create a new CIF file using Elbow for a non-natural amino acid not found yet in the PDB? I know how to carry it out for the isolated residue readily (but of course thinks it is isolated and doesn't include the necessary peptide bonding) but how does one ensure the correct backbone restraints for it are included since it is not isolated but part of the chain?

Joe
