tnx for your help Justin!
but shouldn't the topology of S atom be described for gromacs? unless
gromacs may know P atom with the same topology as S. although they may
not be the same!?
You're talking about two separate issues - atom types and parameters for
molecules. Yes, most (all?) force fields describe both P and S atoms, but I
guarantee none of them have (by default) parameters for some species named "d"
that represents ADP-SO4. You cannot assign parameters from P blindly to S and
hope for the best. That sounds fundamentally wrong to me.
In your original message, it sounded like you wanted to change ADP-SO4 into ATP,
but perhaps I misunderstood what you intended. No force field will be able to
assign parameters to ADP-SO4, even though the force field may recognize
individual atoms, it cannot construct a topology for any arbitrary molecules.
If you need to simulation this ADP-SO4 species, you're in for the long road of
parameterization:

Otherwise, change the S atom to P and name the molecule ATP so it will be
recognized by whatever force field you choose, after you have verified that the
force field can indeed recognize such a species. Otherwise, you're stuck doing
parameterization for ATP, too.

No, but you can use a text editor to replace the S atom with P.

Some force fields support ATP, some do not. Check the .rtp files and
see what you find.
