Perhaps an easier way:
1. Use ParamChem to generate a topology for the new version of the molecule.
2. Rename atoms using a short VMD script. Assuming all your PDB files are in the same directory:
mkdir modified
foreach file [glob *.pdb] {
mol new $file
[atomselect top "resname XXX and name YYY"] set name <new name in ParamChem stream file>
[atomselect top all] writepdb ./modified/$file
mol delete top
}
You probably want to change the residue name as well to avoid confusion (making sure it matches the name in the stream file). Then call autopsf using a similar loop (look up the command line options to see how to do this - in particular how to choose your own topology files; you'll need both the CGENFF topology file and your new stream file on top of the standard protein topology file) and you should be left with a new set of ready-to-run PSF/PDB files.
This is, of course, assuming that your changed molecule is sufficiently "normal" for ParamChem (i.e. CGENFF) to give a good representation.
Cheers,
