There are two separate questions at hand here.  The first is: which method for 
calculating free energies is appropriate to the system at hand?  The second is: 
how do I do that in Gromacs?  I can't help you with the first; no one on this 
list can because there's too much that we don't know.  Your job is to survey the 
literature and consult with colleagues/supervisors for recommendations. 
Studying ion binding to proteins is not a new idea.  Once you have a direct 
approach that you wish to use within Gromacs, that's where those of us on the 
list can help.
