At first I created a copy of GROMOS 53A6 in a folder. Then, I made some
changes in files as follows:
1. I defined atom types that weren't included in .atp file, and removed all
other atom types that I didn't need.
2. I included all bonds, angles, and dihedrals of the residues in
ffbonded.itp, and removed all other gb_, ga_, and gd_ types that I didn't
need.
3. I made the changes were needed in ffnonbonded.itp
4. I defined 3 new residues in .rtp file
5. Finally, I included the new FF in forcefield.itp file

I haven't done anything with specbond. dat yet.

Truly yours,
Farideh
