Dear Mark
I am very thank ful to you for your valuble suggestion. I have verified my results by changing the sigma and epsilon values in [atomtypes ] directive of the ffnonbonded.itp . Results were uneffected by changing these values. Here i have one another doubt regarding [ pairtypes ] directive, As I am using buckingham potential for the nonbonded interactions and have only A, B & C values can i use zeros for the sigma and epsilon values in this directive. What i observed is results will change by changing the sigma and epsilon values in this directive. Please suggest me how can i use correct values for the sigma and epsilon in [ pairtypes ] directive.

As I understand things, pairs for special 1-4 interactions are not used with Buckingham interactions.

Looking closer at your original post, you claim to be adding a residue using Buckingham to an existing force field. No force fields distributed with GROMACS use Buckingham, so if you're trying to make both LJ and Buckingham work in the same simulation, you will be unable to succeed.

Thank you in advance.

        Dear gromacs users,

                                      I am adding a new residue to the
        existing force field in gromacs for that i am using some new
        atom types i added these atom types to the atomtypes.atp  file
         and ffnonbonded.itp and  I am using Buckingham potential for
        the non-bonded interactions for that i have only A,B&C values,
        but in the [atomtype] directive of the ffnonbonded.itp file
        one has to specify the  sigma and epsilon values. How can i
        get these values ? or can i specify these values as zeros ?


    You will be able to use zeroes. You can verify that there's no
    effect by changing the values to ludicrous ones and observing that
    the simulation is the same.
