Dear Sir

I have query as what criteria do you follow to adjust the charges of ligand
atoms in topology file (drg.itp) as you have shown in example for jz4


Assuming you are referring to my tutorial, the functional groups in the JZ4 ligand are all described within the Gromos96 parameter set used therein. The parameterization strategy of that force field (and others) was such that once a model compound or group has suitable parameters derived, it can be applied as a building block for other molecules, thus the parameters are transferable between molecules. This is not always the case for all force fields, however.
