Dear Chetna,
actually the charge parameterization of Amber ffs (those derived from
the parm9X series, so all ffs up to ff14SB, but not the ff03) is done by
QM calculations at the HF-6-31G level in the gas phase. This because it
has been observed that a good representation of the electrostatics in
solution is obtained by some sort of error cancellation.
So, it is not needed to reparameterize your non-standard AA in methanol
(otherwise you should also reparameterize the whole ff). If you want a
better correlation to experiments (i.e. NMR), it is enough to carry your
MD simulations in explicit methanol.
Good luck for your simulation
Alessandro
