​This paper used ff03 for the protein part of the system and modeled the
carbon nanotube as "uncharged Lennard-Jones particles". From the text:


The carbon atoms of the SWCNT
​ ​
were modeled as uncharged Lennard-Jones particles with a cross
​ ​
section of σcc= 3.40 Å and a depth of the potential well of εcc=0.36 kJ/mol

​Like ff14SB, ff03 is just a protein force field -- it wouldn't be used for
CNT, either.
