Instead of being at the alpha position, the peptide bond is formed via the 
sidechain gamma position.  The easiest route is to define a single .rtp that 
defines the tripeptide in its entirety.  Use existing building blocks and 
termini databases to get the correct charges and types on the Glu alpha amine 
and carboxylate.
