Hi Zack,
I believe that amber has modified nucleotide parameters, but can't recall
the publication now. Otherwise, they can also be parameterized, most likely
reasonably well, by analogy. Have a look at the functional group you are
changing and find similar ones in the force field to adopt parameters from.
Cheers,
Johan
