Dear Sangeun,

Sorry, I misunderstood your question.

As you mentioned, currently AMBER Force Field doesn’t support -NH2, -COOH parameters about terminal group.

I have no idea and I think it won’t be easy, unless you are not going to make new force fields using Antechamber(AMBER TOOL).

But why don’t you check previous case?
