In our lab, we are working with a peptide that contains dehydroamino acids, such as dehydrovaline. These residues contain a double bond spanning the alpha and beta carbons. What would be the best Amber atom-type for the alpha and beta carbons? I would like to try the best Amber atom-type but it none will work maybe a GAFF atom type would work. I am new to atom typing in Amber.

!Dehydrovaline residue

!           |       HG11 HG12

!           |            \    /   

!  HN--N            CG1--HG13

!           |             /

!           |           /

!          CA==CB

!           |           \

!           |             \ 

!   O==C             CG2--HG23

!           |              /   \

!           |     HG21    HG22

Thanks for your advice!
