Dear Justin,

Zn bound to three Histidine atoms and a water in carbonic anhydrase. This water bound to Zn has different parameters than solvent water. That parameters is present in literature. How should I set up such a system?

PS: I will use 'pdb2gmx' with -vsite hydrogens.  

Thanks in advance

Ahmet Yıldırım
