('binary' encoding is not supported, stored as-is) Sorry, I am thinking in steps today. The previous residues I used to read
in a pdb file, but looking at the pdb output from that, there is a
mistake. Now, my question is, if I follow the description below, how do I
connect the respective residues in leap? How do I make one molecule out
of it that I can then define as a new residue to attach something else too?
Thanks,

Armin

I built some polymers with a tetrahedral core where I needed to
make a series of connections to the central unit. What I did
was to define a tail, connect a side-chain to it, then redefine
another tail, connect to that, etc. I believe that you can define
a tail as many times as you want, but it will be set to whatever
the last atom you set it to. As already suggested, 'desc' is your
friend in leap.
