​The rest of the parameters should already be present in the database.
 Don't forget that adenine is a standard nucleobase that is present in most
simulations of nucleic acids. Those parameters have been around for quite
some time ;).

Also, I would suggest using the Mg2+ parameters recently developed in the
Merz group. They are available as a separate frcmod file depending on the
water model you plan to use. The Amber14 manual ​has a description of how
to use ions in your simulation: Chapter 3 section 6. There are 2 sets of
divalent ion parameters to choose from -- those that get the Metal-Oxygen
distance right and those that get the hydration free energy right (no sets
of parameters using the 12-6 LJ potential can get both). You'll have to
pick which one you want to use.

There is also a new 12-6-4 potential that performs better for divalent ions
you can try out as well (although it is significantly less-tested and
doesn't run on GPUs as of yet).

HTH,
Jason
