Look for the section "assign parameters for calculating SASA according to
the LCPO method" in amber7/src/mdread.f (about line 664).

Depending on the accuracy you need: you could adapt the parameters from
some existing atom type to the one you want; or you could adjust new
parameters to fit surface areas calculated exactly, in the way that the
original parameters were developed (see the LCPO paper for details).

....good luck...dac
