No: gaff is intrinsically an all-atom model. The united-atom parameters for
proteins were developed "by hand", and I don't think there is any general
prescription for how to do something similar for arbitrary molecules.
[You should be careful what you wish for....do you have a *real* need for
a united atom ligand? There were some good reasons why united atom force
fields mostly disappeared from biomolecular MM simulations a quarter of a
century ago. It would be a shame if people had to re-discover the limitations
of the UA scheme all over again.]
