Hi Davit,
If you want to run simulations with the substrate, you will need to
develop parameters for it (as well as a topology file entry for it). The
program MOE can perform a parameter file search and will give parameters
and atomic charges based on similarities between atoms in your molecule
and those already defined in the Charm parameter files. (If you want to
know more, parameter development is probably a discussion more suited
toward the namd-l list.)
