You are correct to have doubts. First, antechamber doesn't handle any
systems with boron. Second, antechamber won't help much for covalently
bound ligands.
There are a variety of ways to handle covalently bound ligands, but none of
the them are very straightforward, in my view. One idea is to treat the amino
acid + ligand as a modified amino acid. You'll still have to deal with the
boron problem. Expect to learn a lot about how force fields are developed,
and to carry out a number of quantum chemical calculations to characterize
your system.
