Thank you Justin Sir for replying...
Yes, the term "dipeptide" is ambiguous....
But is there any other smallest  molecule with an amide linkage (two
aminoacids linked through peptide bond) or any other small peptide molecule
that can be found in CHARMM36 FF..  with the corresponding residue naming
in charmm...

Thank you...
