    To whom it may concern;
    I am willing to study a damaged DNA which has a 8-oxoG as the
    lesion (the Carbon 8 in guannine is oxidized.). I have the
    following questions;
    1) Should I change the sigma and epsilon parameters in the force
    field that I want to work on? and how?
    2) Should I change the bonded parameters in the force field? and how?
    3) The new charges for the lesion are obtained from Gaussian
    package; where can I  mention the modified charges?


You need to consider your molecule in the light of the existing atom and bonded interaction types for the force field you have chosen. Maybe you need new ones, maybe not. For 3, you should consider the advice here http://www.gromacs.org/Documentation/How-tos/Parameterization (so your Gaussian-based charges may not be useful at all), and http://www.gromacs.org/Documentation/How-tos/Adding_a_Residue_to_a_Force_Field. All of the above will need a thorough knowledge of chapter 5 of the manual.
