This is somewhat controversial. But even with force fields that have (small)
non-zero charges for hydrogens bonded to carbon, CH--O hydrogen bonds are
probably understabilized, compared to "reality". But, as Lachele noted, you
are not losing much by having zero charges in Glycam.
Here is an old, but (I think) still relevant analysis:
%A R. Vargas
%A J. Garza
%A D.A. Dixon
%A B.P. Hay
%T How Strong Is the Calpha-H***O = C Hydrogen Bond?
%J J. Am. Chem. Soc.
%V 122
%P 4750-4755
%D 2000
