The approach we have which should work out of the box with Xplor-NIH
is to use the SP patch to convert a serine into phosphoserine:

xplor.command("patch SP refe=1=(resid XX) refe=2=(resid YY)

where XX is the resid of the serine, and YY is the resid of a
separately initialized phosphate group. Please see 

  eginput/PSF_generation/genModCircPep.py

for a worked-out example. For this usage, you will want to write out
the PSF and work with this. A more convenient patch could be written,
or a separate residue type could be introduced.

This does depend somewhat on what sort of data you have for the
calculation. The attached script (a modified version of
eginput/relaxRatio/dock_rrp.py from the Xplor-NIH distribution) might
be a place to start. You will have to carefully free the appropriate
regions of (presumably mostly) the peptide.

Please let me know if you have problems with this.
