Thanks Justin,

I do want to manually add the new parameters into the existing Amber force
field in Gromacs.

In the folder of each force field "....../share/gromacs/top/*.ff". There
are many files. Some of them are obvious to modify (e.g. aminoacids.rtp).
Could you please advise a complete file list that I should modify? or a
link of tutorials at somewhere I can read and follow. Thank you very much!

Best regards,

Jianqing
