Dear Ioana,
I suggest you read the Antechamber section of the manual. This is designed
to do what you suggest for common organic (pharmaceutical like) molecules by
making use of the Generalised Amber Force Field (GAFF). Although currently
this will only work with C,N,O,S,P,H,F,Cl,Br and I elements.
I hope this helps.
All the best
Ross
