I know and I apologize, I mistyped. It is an isolated molecule. I did try to combine the parameters of OPLSAA of carbohydrates(Jorgensen, 1997) with the nucleotide base paper (Jorgensen, 1991). However, I am not sure the partial charge that I should use on the Carbon (C) atom of the sugar molecule that is linked with the Nitrogen (N) of nucleoside, because it is not an alcohol anymore.

That's not what you asked for, but in that case you have to combine the
cytosine parameters with some kind of sugar ring. Is this in a polymer
through the sugar rings as well, or an isolated molecule?

Hello,

I am trying to use OPLS-AA force field for simulating nucleosides eg.
cytosine, adenosine etc. I found parameters for nucleotide bases (eg.
1-methylcytosine) but I haven't been able to find parameters for
nucleosides. Does anyone know where I can find parameters for
nucleotides for OPLS-AA (if they do exist?). A paper citation would be
helpful.

Thanks.

It's all there in the atomtypes.atp file, a little fragment:

opls_336 12.01100 ; Cytosine C4 Nucleotide base
opls_337 12.01100 ; Cytosine C5 parameters:
opls_338 12.01100 ; Cytosine C6 JACS,113,2810(1991)
opls_339 1.00800 ; Cytosine H-N1
