None of the standard Amber libraries have this modification. I'd suggest
first looking at the Amber_PTM (post-translational modifications) library --
there is a link on the Amber web site.

How much initial minization did you carry out? What exactly do you mean
by saying that your simulation "became unstable"? How did you perform the
mutation in the first place? You don't need to answer these questions
here: they are more questions to ask yourself. Be sure to visualize the
glutamate simulation: what is the bad clash? Could you get rid of it by
starting with a different side-chain rotatmer?
