Hello,

The following is one possible solution:

Step 1: Obtain a structure for these molecules. I found
Conformer3D_CID_71315856.sdf in PubChem for Dextran 70.

Step 2: Convert the sdf file to a mol2 file with OpenBabel.
obabel -iSDF Conformer3D_CID_71315856.sdf -o mol2 -O
Conformer3D_CID_71315856.mol2

Step 3: Use the CGenFF Program (https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://cgenff.umaryland.edu/__;!!DZ3fjg!9zpjnKCijKKBiUjRECmzq2fZUlFQ3-_7LhgYtFDHa6kYxKn70zel7h7eFVqL9e5oFm-AXNHVWQo_TM5ieSWGyPwcToIH$ ) to convert
the Conformer3D_CID_71315856.mol2 file
to a Conformer3D_CID_71315856.str file.

Note the Conformer3D_CID_71315856.str file can now be concatenated with the
simulation parameters within a namd input file.
