Generate template parameter file for a polymer
#1

Hi all!

I am trying to generate a file with all the parameters for the monomer of a rigid polymer.

Is there any special way? Because the param file that I obtain is different from, for example, aminoacids. 

Thank you in advance.

By "rigid polymer" you mean a polymer that is composed of residues with a non-alpha amino acid backbone as opposed to simply alpha-L-amino acid that are not the 21 canonical amino acids (HIS=HIE+HID)? 

Weirdo backbone peptide (peptoids) are mentioned in https://new.rosettacommons.org/docs/latest/rosetta_basics/non_protein_residues/Noncanonical-Backbones

If you look at the database folder, under chemical --> residue type sets (a params file defines a "residue type") --> fa_standard or somesuch --> residues, you will find several unsual backbones, which may help.

But before even starting do use the closest pre-exisiting peptoid to test your intended script, because chances are the system will blow up.
