In order to carry out any simulation, you need more than charges.  If they did 
any subsequent validation of the charges, they must have assigned these 
parameters.  If they calculated charges and did no validation, then you should 
question whether or not the charges are valid.

Nonstandard additions to force fields are not included in Gromacs distributions.
