Not necessarily.  Deriving parameters for the Gromos96 force fields is a 
somewhat ill-defined process, as iterative empirical refinements are often used. 
  Building blocks of common functional groups are generally transferable between 
molecules, and recent papers have suggested parameters for many non-protein 
groups.  There are probably a dozen or so papers that I would consider necessary 
reading before you should attempt to parameterize any molecule under Gromos96.
