Dear Raj,

You could use the building block approach and R.E.D. Server Dev./PyRED
at http://q4md-forcefieldtools.org/REDServer-Development/

See http://q4md-forcefieldtools.org/REDDB/projects/F-90/
     http://q4md-forcefieldtools.org/REDDB/projects/F-85/

A phosphate group contains a negative total charge: I would vote for
splitting each monosaccharide and the phosphate into two different
building blocks involved in charge derivation...

regards, Francois
