Sorry to take so long responding.
You *could* do the R-COO- variant, but I'm not sure you should. You'd
definitely need to do some heavy validation. Our parameters are for
carboxylate groups attached to sugars, and there is no guarantee that
the parameters would be appropriate for such a different chemical
environment. For example, we can't use the NHCO parameters from a
peptide backbone for our X-NAc residues. Did you try using one of the
lipid force fields? The GLYCAM lipid force field is decent, but
treats only a few subunits, so you'll probably do better with one of
the other AMBER lipid ff's.
