Dear Mageshwari
I think that adding the Na ions do not make any protein conformational
changes, however, durin the MD, could be possible, particularly, if the Na
can bind to protein. You can add ions by MD, this (
http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Research/vmd/plugins/autoionize/) can help you. You
MD in vacuum, i think that do not requires periodic boundary.
Best wishes
