Hi Sridhar,

A good site to look into would be
http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Training/Tutorials/

You will find simple tutorials to get you started with NAMD. Also, you will
find the required topology and parameter files for protein systems in any of
the tutorial files that come along with the tutorials.

best
