The parameters listed in Table 1 need to be added to ffbonded.itp and 
ffnonbonded.itp.  The thing to watch out for is that there are two different 
H-O-H angles that are defined, depending on whether the water is free or bound 
to Zn.  Therefore, you need unique atomtypes to differentiate between different 
types of water, so that requires modification of atomtypes.atp, as well, if you 
will be processing the structure with pdb2gmx.

Table 2 corresponds to a specific residue that needs to be added as an .rtp 
entry (again, only if you are using pdb2gmx to create the topology).  The .hdb 
entry is only necessary if you do not have H positions in the input coordinate file.
