Hi, The parameters for ATP (and several other building blocks and molecules) in the GROMOS 53a5 and 53a6 force fields are, AFAIK, inherited from the older versions, albeit with some modifications to bring them in line with the rest of the force field. So they weren't reparameterized and thus do not exactly follow the philosophy of the force field. The parameters for ATP are likely more in line with the GROMOS 43a5 force field. Maybe that would be a better choice.
