Hello Collin,
Actually, oleic acid, alongside other detergents, is included in
CHARMM36. If you download the latest C36 parameters from Mackerell's
lab (http://mackerell.umaryland.edu/charmm_ff.shtml#charmm ), you can
find it in the "toppar_all36_lipid_detergent.str" stream file, in the
"toppar/stream/lipid" directory. Oleic acid is named "OLE".
