Hi,
Thanks for the answer although I hoped that it would be easy and not problem
to parametrize the Cu2+/Cu+ for a classical force field.
In my case I think the ion are pretty well integrated into the protein until
now I have used the parameters for Cu2+ from the article Deng et al
(doi:10.1529/biophysj.105.064444) where they have included it as 2+ and a
vdw parameter. The problem is that the coordination of one methionine
residues is not kept during the simulation which I would expect it to be -
in two of the other binding it is though so further investigation is needed.
My main question is would you include bonding parameters for the metal ion
and its interactions with its ligand like for example in the paper by Fuchs
et al.(doi:10.1002/jcc.20392) or Stote and Karplus where they as Deng use
the vdw along with its charge.
I know that many problems araises due to the d9 of Cu20 so I am really
puzzled how to proceed? Any suggestions or comments would be appreciated
Best
