Dear Patrick,
Because the ACE is defined as a patch, not a residue of its own, the
correct way to handle this is to not have the ACE residue in your input
file, but rather, specify ACE as the N-terminal patch for your protein
chain of interest. This can be done in the autopsf GUI using the "Chains
Identified" section of the menu.
Best,
Peter
