The molecule must be present in the starting .pdb file.  For any new species
that you need to introduce, you will first have to develop reasonable force
field parameters for it (an advanced topic, beware), then construct the
appropriate building blocks.

Dear Justin
Regarding to developing the reasonable force field parameters is not a small work, I would like to know your opinion about using PRODRG2.5 Server.


We recently published a paper detailing the problems with PRODRG:

http://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/ci100335w

That said, you can still use the topologies as a framework for further refinement, but I have never gotten sufficiently accurate parameters from PRODRG for even the simplest molecules.
