[gmx-users] Fe2+ non bonded parameters for AMBER

[Raj D]

Dear Jastin,
Exactly,  I would like to study few important mutants which falls well out
of Fe2+ coordinating shell and the study is about to compare dynamics of
the wild type and mutant systems and I hoping a stable simulation with a
crude approximation of active is enough for this purpose because internally
its very luxurious proposition to do QM study to derive a parameters for
Fe2+ in the active site.
Hoping your continus support for my study

Thanks
Raja
