Hello Sir,
Thanks for your help.
I have generated .itp file for my ligand through dundee server as I was unable to generate it through Gromacs using any force field.
So what changes should I make ?

The Dundee PRODRG server produces GROMOS-compatible topologies only. So you cannot use its output for OPLS (mostly due to the fact that the ligand is assumed to be united-atom, and OPLS-AA is an all-atom force field). In a limited number of cases (dealing with molecules that have no hydrophobic groups and thus no united-atom carbons), you can replace all the atom types with those found in ffoplsaa.atp.

In the majority of cases, this won't be possible. There are several tools on the contributed software section of the Gromacs website that can construct topologies. You can also try using the Gromacs tool x2top, but you may have to make additions or modifications to the ffoplsaa.n2t file to include all the functional groups you want.

You should still always validate the results according to the original force field literature before using them in any simulation.

    Then you haven't been changing the right thing(s).  How do you have
    an OA atom type in the ligand file under OPLS?  What program
    generated your ligand .itp file?  All OPLS atom types are of the
    format "opls_XXX," so if you've got anything else, you're dealing
    with some hybridized, non-functional topology that may in fact be
    trying to mix force fields.
