You will find SO3-, SSO3- and SSMe cysteine derivatives in R.E.DD.B.
for the Cornel et all & Duan et al FFs. They are not useful for your
problem but they can be used as examples besides the R.E.D. III
tutorial.

Here you compare the RRMS value of the central fragment
(output2_m1.sm) to that of the whole molecule (output2_m1) in a single
molecule RED-III job:
The RRMS increase because of the two INTRA-MCC added during the fit is
excellent
(0.17655 - 0.17483) !
A strong limitation in R.E.D.-III is that if you want to derive the
central, the N-term & the C-term fragments you need to run 3 RED-III
jobs to generate the corresponding Tripos mol2 FF library precursor.
With R.E.D.-IV this is now carried out in a sinle R.E.D.-IV run and
the corresponding Tripos mol2 files are generated. For update about
R.E.D. IV see "R.E.D.-IV news" from the R.E.D. home page.

I think you have to derive your own FF parameters...
