Kara,
What kind of a residue do you have (which does not have the RESP charges)?
If it is a similar residue used in AMBER, you can call the charge info for
that perticular residue (which I am sure you know how to do that). If
there is no RESP charge info in AMBER for your particular residue, you
need to calculate it by yourself, which means u need to use an ab initio
program (like Gaussian or GAMESS). Hope this helps.
Good luck.
