I have converted PDB to mol2 with openbabel and submitted at Swissparam (http://swissparam.ch/) which returned a zip file containing various files of the same name (.itp, .rtp, .crd, .par, .psf, .pdb, .mol2). 1. Which of these files can be used as force field to generate a topology ? How do I include that file ?pdb2gmx -f IP7270115.pdb -ff XXX -water spc

Is there an atom based ff available for GROMACS which I can place in ff directory and include in ff list ? (like MMFF)Swissparam help page says that I have to change the UNK1/LIG notation in pdb file to CHARMM27 terminology for those atoms. I am having a hard time figuring out what names these atoms should be assigned since all the atoms are unknown.

If you have an .itp file, that's a topology.  You don't need to run through 
pdb2gmx again, because the purpose of pdb2gmx is to create a topology.  If file 
formats are unfamiliar to you, refer to Chapter 5 of the manual where all of 
this is covered.
