The instructions for adding a new residue are here: http://www.gromacs.org/Documentation/How-tos/Adding_a_Residue_to_a_Force_Field?highlight=add+new+residue
If you cannot understand these instructions, then most probably you will have to read about them in Chapter 5 of the gromacs manual in order to understand what all the different files mentioned are about. In particular, you will have to define a new residue, e.g. SERP or something like that in the residuetypes.dat file, but also in the aminoacids.rtp file making sure that all the new bonds, angles and dihedrals are defined and that these also exist in the ffbonded.itp file. The biggest challenge will be assigning the correct charges to the atoms of the new residue so that the net charge is now, for example, -1. One way to do this is to run Gaussian. You need to google this a bit.

There are some commands to be run which are nor gromacs neither bash commands that pretty puzzle me. However, I'd better be more specific in explaining my problem: I have a protein whose pdb contains a particular serine in which I am interested on. Now, for some reasons, I need to change this serine (and only this one!) to a phosphorylated one and run some MD production using AMBER-ILDN with this new configuration. What should I do exactly? Can you provide me a sequence of steps which I should follow in order to go from the starting pdb to the actual simulation? As always, thank you very much for your help!
