Hi,
You have to write your own psfgen script to do this. Typical ions (e.g., Na+ or
Cl-)
are already defined in the CHARMM topology and parameter files, so what you
need to do is to, e.g., create a new segment and add ions to this segment. As for
the
coordinates of the ions, you may simply place them randomly in bulk water.
Remember to minimize your system before starting the real simulation, because
there may be bad contact between ions and water molecules.
