Don't cross post to VMD.
In NAMD you can load the Retinal parameter file additional to your current
parameter file file.
#######################
paraTypeCharmm on
parameters ../par_all27_prot_lipid.prm
parameters ../retinal.prm
#######################
In CHARMM you have to load both par/top file. When loading the Retinal
topology file, take care that the Retianl topology file does not contain any
overlapping MASS values. If it happens to have overlapping MASS entries,
change them but then you have to regenerate your PSF to reflects the changed
MASS entries. So merge the retinal top/par files with your current top/par
files and change the MASS entries for Retinal not to contain duplicates.
