Adupa,
Perhaps this would help. Think about what pH 7.4 means. approximately 1
in 10^7 water molecules are split into a H+ and OH- units. How many water
molecules are in your simulation? 10K, 100K, 1M? If so, you would not see
a difference between plain water and the pH 7.4 solution.
Depending upon the molarity of your buffer, you might also add some
phosphate ions to your simulation. But again, think about the size of your
computational region to determine if that generates a reasonable
concentration of buffer.
As recommended by Pratik, the protonation state of the protein is the
feature that reflects the change in your environmental conditions.
