If I understood your structure you have a 5'-terminal phosphate for a
pentanucleotide and you have no connection between your protein and
your nucleic acid structure.
In the Amber FF topology database (FFTopDB), the terminal residues are
3'OH & 5'OH and the total charge of those residues are -0.6931 and
-0.3079, respectively. Consequently, I think the best approach is to
develop two new FF libraries: one for the connecting nucleoside and
the other for the 5'-phosphate.
I suggest you to use R.E.D.
http://q4md-forcefieldtools.org/RED/ for that:
The molecule 1: you could start from Methylphosphate (-2) & see how it goes
The molecule 2: your connecting nucleo_side_
In the P2Ns (Mol_red1.p2n & Mol-red2.p2n) you define:
- an INTRA-MCC for the H3T atom of molecule 2 sets to the charge value
of H3T in the Amber FFTopDB
INTRA-MCC X.XXXX | A | Remove
X.XXXX = value of the constraint = 0.4396
A: atom number in the P2N file for H3T
R (or Remove): atom H3T removed from the final FF library
(mol2 file)
- an INTER-MCC between the methyl group of methylphosphate & the HO5'
hydroxyl (defined in molecule 1).
INTER-MCC 0.0000 | 1 2 | A1 A2 A3 A4 | B1 B2
A1 A2 A3 A4 atom numbers of methyl group (in the P2N file;
molecule 1)
B1 B2 atom numbers of HO5' hydroxyl (in the P2N file; molecule 2)
You should get what you need: Look at the RRMS value of the fit in the
"Mol_MM" directory.
For the use of INTR-MCC & INTER-MCC in R.E.D. see
http://q4md-forcefieldtools.org/Tutorial/
At the end, you might need to follow:

to make your FF library more "presentable"
