I'm not sure about the best way for the specific application of an ion, but
in general if you want to use MD to predict binding affinities (or free
energies of binding, as they are related), there are a number of methods.
I recommend you check out the NAMD 2.8 user guide under Biasing and
Analysis methods (http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Research/namd/2.8/ug/node56.html).
I've done some Umbrella Sampling and MetaDynamics using a non-charged
ligand to a protein, and they both work well. Umbrella Sampling requires
more human input throughout the process, whereas Metadynamics only requires
you to think about the initial setup and then just let it run. If you
choose to go with MetaDynamics I suggest reading papers on the topic by
Parrinello who helped develop the method.
