Dear bharat lakhani,

ok I better understand your needs now: You need (i) to derive the
atomic charges, (ii) to determine the force field (FF) atom types, and
(iii) find the missing FF parameters (if any) for your molecules:
(i) To get the charges, you can follow different approaches.
You could use the following plan:
- You get optimized structures by quantum mechanics (QM).
You need a QM program for that: Among the numerous possibilities:
Gaussian, PC-GAMESS or GAMESS-US (the last twos are provided at no
cost).
- You compute molecular electrostatic potential (MEP).
- You fit the charges to the MEP.
You can use the R.E.D. tools or Antechamber for that.
If you decide to use the R.E.D. tools, Ante_R.E.D. will generate for
you inputs for the geometry optimization step, and R.E.D. will allow
you to compute the charges for all your molecules in a single
multi-molecule approach.
(ii) you need to decide which FF you want to use. If you decide to use
GAFF, Antechamber will generate the FF atom types for GAFF and find
the missing FF parameters. For other FF, you will have to do the job
manually.
(iii) you use LEaP to load the FF libraries and generate the
prmtop/prmcrd files. LEaP will tell you which FF parameter is missing.
I hope this helps. A lot of work... I suggest you to proceed step by
step taking a small molecule as a model first.
regards, Francois
