I have a "drug" greater than 300 atoms what should I do to get the
topology
I don know if exist another program or server that do something similar 
My drug have 310 atoms 
Help please  :-(

You are confusing topology with conformation. For each bond between a
pair of atoms there is a choice of several hundreds of bond types, which
are associated with a) specific force constants and b) specific
equilibrium values (i.e. bond lengths). Same for bond angles. You can
minimize coordinates, but the topology stays the same.

Writing out a G96 FF topology is probably only a day's work if I can
have a full day's use of a G96 FF guru for advice and testing - and of
course everyone is busy!

cheers
