Dear Vlad,

GDP is constructed from molecular fragments...

See the abstract of F-90 & F-91:
[...]
- XYP (Adenosine monophosphate, Adenosine diphosphate, Adenosine
triphosphate, ...),
[...]
with X = 2'-Deoxyadenosine, 2'-Deoxycytidine, 2'-Deoxyguanosine,
2'-Deoxythymidine, Adenosine, Cytidine, Guanosine or Uridine, and Y =
any positive integer value

You go at:
http://q4md-forcefieldtools.org/REDDB/download.php

-- R.E.DD.B. code (if known)
-- Molecule keyword *
-- Molecule name
-- Author lastname
-- Theory level/Basis set
          Text cofactor

Search... [Done]
Result(s) for search by Molecule keyword cofactor

Project name Cofactor_(biochemistry)
Project code F-90
Summary of information Click Here
[...]
Project name Cofactor_(biochemistry)
Project code F-91
Summary of information Click Here
[...]

In relation with: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cofactor_(biochemistry)

Then, you go at:
http://q4md-forcefieldtools.org/REDDB/Projects/F-90/
You download the compressed archive:
http://q4md-forcefieldtools.org/REDDB/projects/F-90/F-90.tar.bz2
You get all the files: tar jxvf F-90.tar.bz2 && cd F-90

Then, you run:
perl -p -i.old -e 's/\#\#\!\# //g' script1.ff
perl -p -i.old -e 's/\#\#\#\#\#\# //g' script1.ff
grep -v "to be replaced by the correct tripos" script1.ff > script1-new.ff
   (these commands are described in script1.ff from the extracted
project you downloaded or at
http://q4md-forcefieldtools.org/REDDB/projects/F-90/script1.ff)
tleap -f script1-new.ff

You get mol2 files + mol3 files (concerning mol3 files see
http://q4md-forcefieldtools.org/Tutorial/leap-mol3.php or download the
latest version of the AmberTools).

> P.S. Do you know any reference that used these parameters ?

I did not do a rigorous search about that.
I know this paper:
http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S104784771100205X

This additional web page might help you as well (but this is about the
R.E.D. tools):
http://q4md-forcefieldtools.org/RED/popup/citation.php

I hope this helps.

regards, Francois
