Hi, Bill,

Thank you for your help. But I still have problem with it. I checked the types of these atoms. All N atoms are of nh type, and C1 are of c2 type. So I think they should be in a plane. But after minimization of the whole protein, H21 and H22 rotate along C1-N2 bond. I guess this should not happen.
Can you help me to solve it?

       H21 H22
        \ /
 C2 N2
  \ //
   N1--C1 (+1 charge)
  / \
 C3 N3
        / \
       H31 H32

        
Best regards,
