I am unable to find resonable sidechains to be added, as Tsjerk and yourself
mentioned. I will try to look at the  molecule builder programs available,
try to see what "reasonable" sidechains can be added, and proceed.
I am not "that" familiar with biochemistry, as myself being an electrical
engineer, but working in bioelectrics simulations.
Thanks for the suggestions, I will get back to you once I do my homework
properly.
Thanks again....
