Justin,

thanks again for help.

Finally is there any generall solution to parametrise hetero-groups
covalently bonded with the protein ? Many proteins consist of such groups
e.g chromophore in GFP, retinall in rhodopsin as well as some prostetic
groups in the enzymes.

I've tried to make something like you've told me via inclusion of
pre-parametrised residues in the existing gromacs ff but forced with some
problems due to the atom order in new ITP and gro files provided by ATb or
PRODRG are different from initial pdb file so pdb2gmx on the whole protein
where het-group in the old order would not work properly :(
