Thank you very much for your response. I am at the moment interested in doing 
conformational search.

Using freeze groups in combination with conformational search does not seem optimal...

Is there any good paper that explain nicely about doing the charge distribution 
calculation?
You need to do an ab initio calculation on the system you want to parametrize. This will give you the true charge distribution to which you can fit a set of partial charges located on the nuclei. There are several possibilities to do the fitting, check what the QM programs you can use support. But in the end the charges are not too strongly dependent on the fitting/level of QM. In addition you can sample several configurations and use some sort of averaging to get the partial charge (see RESP).

Hi All User,

I have been wondering whether it is advisable to avoid parametrization step by 
freezing the atoms in MD
simulation.
Depends on what you want to do.

You most likely would still need the charge distribution, which is the most difficult part of the parametrization part usually.
 Bonded interactions can often be guessed by comparing to known residues.
