I don't know about glycerol but there an .itp file specific for
methanol. Should be in
the top directory.

When your protein is not a "classic one", meaning with regular residues,
you either
are lucky and someone has already work with special residue or you have
to build the
topology. Neither Gromacs or any program is a press botton software and
you should
be able to understand and so create your own topology ...

Good luck
