Proton transfer can occur for any titratable group; I wouldn't necessarily 
assume it to be irrelevant.

"Constant pH" specifically refers to techniques in which protonation states can 
change.  If you're looking solely at pH in terms of dominant protonation states, 
then just setting up the topology to reflect the dominant forms of all 
titratable groups is easy enough, and is commonly done.
