Dear Urszula,

If I understood your molecule this is a beta-D-Glucose bound to the
Epsilon carbon of a Lysine residue with a new asymmetric carbon at
C_Epsilon. Interesting...

You could create a dipeptide for this pseudo lysine and follow the
approach described .
http://q4md-forcefieldtools.org/Tutorial/Tutorial-3.php#25

You could use the RESP-C2 charge model, but this means a mixture of
AMBER/GLYCAM scaling factors for 1-4 non-bonded interactions...

Considering that you have a Gluco configuration you could also use the
RESP-A1A charge model for this entire new residue - this also means
applying Amber scaling factors for 1-4 interactions.
The approach is described .
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21792425 & is far more simple than
the first one...

regards, Francois
