[gmx-users] Fe(II) at active site

[raja]

Hi XAvier,
Thanks for your opinion. This is my maiden attempt to simulate a protein
so the reason for the mistake. If possible could you please refer me
some paper, which describe the simulation of a system, contains Fe (II)
at its active site. I tried my best, but could not find a one.

By,
B.Nataraj
