Thanks for your guidance.
I looked that file,But I think the name of functional groups are different in .rtp file because I can't find no one of them in this file.


Functional group names are not in the .rtp files. You locate applicable functional groups by knowing the residues in which they occur.

please let me know how can I know the correct name f or functional groups
for example:HYDROXYL,CARBOXYL,HALO,AMINO and ...


All of these except halogens exist in common amino acids. If you have many non-standard groups (i.e. those that don't typically occur in biomolecules), then perhaps your choice of force field was a poor one. As Mark said, don't presuppose the solution.

Thanks in advance for your help

        Dear  Dr.justin
        Actually by doing this  we are using two different force fields
        in one simulation.
        I had done it before and the result was that I discussed before
        in gmx-users(LINCS Error,Exploding system,Bad contacts between
        atoms)
        Then,this approch seems to doesn't work about my system.

        Then I  want to find charges and charge groups for gromos 43A1
        and replace them for my drug(to edit PRODRG file manually) and
        work totally in gromos 43A1.


    Please keep your story consistent.  In the last message, you said
    you wanted to work completely within 53A6, so I advised you on how
    to do that, now you say that you're trying to work completely within
    43A1.


        Unfortunately I can't obtain these parameter.


    You certainly do have these parameters.  43A1 is part of the Gromacs
    installation; in the .rtp file you'll find all of the functional
    groups that were derived in 43A1, as applied to amino acids and a
    few other groups.


        Please let me have if you have it.
        Can I use some Ab Initio software for determining partial
        charges of my drug?
        for example ABINIT or Gaussian!


    My paper that you said you read has discussion and recommendations
    on this point.  But be very clear: none of the QM methods we tested
    were able to reproduce the charges that are assigned to known
    functional groups since the Gromos parameterization methodology
    calls for "empirical refinement."  Thus, manual modification and
    thorough validation are always necessary.

        Thanks in advance

               Ok
               then,I can use  PRODRG server to generate .top and .gro files
               for drug.
               since it's reported charges are not very accurate ,we can
               replace all charges completely with them in 53A6(if was
        present).
               But it means we are working in 53A6 force field.
               then,we must generate .top and .gro files for our protein
        with
               53A6 too.
               and work completely with 53A6.
               Am i right?
               thanks in advance


           That sounds like a reasonable approach.  Be sure to validate the
           drug topology.  In my experience, this procedure is pretty
        good, but
           you always have to convince reviewers...

                      Dear Justin

                      I read your articles about PRODRG server,they were
        very
               useful.
                      But I have a question:
                      are charges of functional groups and generally
        other atom
               groups
                      the same in all force fields?
                      Because you have modified charges of your molecules by
               Gromos96
                      53A6 while prodrg server is generating topology
        files in
               43A1.
                      I want to know can I replace charges from gromos
        53A6 or
               other
                      forcefields?
                      thanks in advance


                  Charges are not the same between force fields.  We did
        our study
                  with 43A1 since that is what PRODRG purports to
        produce.  I would
                  say that our recommendations carry to other Gromos force
               fields, as
                  well, but don't take charges from 43A1 and apply them to
               53A6.  Be
                  consistent within the force field.

                  The atom types produced by PRODRG are largely shared
        between 43A1
                  and 53A6, so if you *completely* replace all charges with
               those from
                  53A6, you should have a topology that is compatible
        with 53A6.
