Thanks for the reply on my first querry. I have another one. If I add a NEW atom type in *.atp file, will Gromacs automatically recognize this atom type?

Theoretically, yes, provided that you supply any corresponding parameters in, e.g., ffnonbonded.itp and ffbonded.itp. However, there is an unresolved bug related to atomtype assignment that may be relevant:

It seems to me that any alterations to the .atp file cause things to break down, so do not be surprised if there are problems.

Thanks.

    Hi everyone!
I need to update the gromos force field 53A6 with the new force
    field 53ACARBO (JCC 10 NOV 2010).
1. I will have to change the parameter values in the file
    ff_bonded.itp and ff_nonbonded.itp in the gromos53a6.ff. Are these
    the only files that I need to update if I need to switch to a new
    force field?


    You should make a copy of the whole force field directory into your
    working directory, rename the new directory suitably, make a
    suitable change to forcefield.doc, and then edit .itp files
    suitably. This means you're leaving your reference version untouched
    and can edit locally to your heart's content, and can be sure you're
    selecting the right force field with pdb2gmx and/or in your .top file.

2. The new force field 53ACARBO has a new gromos functional form
    for select torsional potentials. How to I go over implementing
    this in gromos?


    Preferably as a sum of existing functional forms. Or use tabulated
    bonded interactions (see manual and wiki).
