This is an organic compound. Is the image missing some atoms .... the
counter-ion?
If the parameters are available, then NAMD can simulate the molecule.
Please look in the CHARMM forcefield to see if this is a possibility.
Alternatively, you can parameterize the molecule yourself. The paratool
plugin in VMD can be of help with this; however you will still need to
understand how to do the process manually. Please look at:
