Thanks. Downloaded toppar from
http://mackerell.umaryland.edu/CHARMM_ff_params.html. Still, I was
unable to find parameters for the C-CPB bond. In which par file are
they located? Such params must be somewhere, if not else because of
"Case Study: Myoglobin Anton Arkhipov, Rosemary Braun and Ying Yin
February 21, 2008" on the web.
thanks
francesco

However, this does raise an important point: one should not totally rely on the files distributed in VMD as they are not meant to have complete coverage of the forcefield. It's always best to get the full set of topology and parameters from MacKerell's website.
