The details will depend on the force field you've chosen to use for the protein. 
  Factoring into that decision is how easy it will be to parametrize a ligand 
with boron, which none of the commonly used biomolecular force fields have. 
You'll be starting from absolute scratch with that atom type so you will want to 
be well versed in force field parametrization methods (beware: expert topic ahead).
