If you have a topology file for a single glycine molecular then that is
all you need.  The same parameters etc are just duplicated for each
subsequent molecule in the large box.

For an example, just look how water is normally implimented.

Look in chapter 5 of the manual, that specifies what format to use in
the .itp file, then how to link that into the .top file.  Within the
.top file you simple include the .itp file for the single molecule, then
down the bottom specify how many of those molecule types are within the
simulation box.
