It's possible to make it more specific by using addljtype with a mask to
move the surface atoms to a new matrix entry from the polymer (do this for
h1 using atom type and resnum range, and then again for ca and a resnum
range).
Then you can change the matrix for the pair involving specific
combinations, but since thr have the same type name you'd need to include
the resnum again. Check the results carefully using printdetails and
printljmatrix.
