Hi,
     I thank you for your attention. I tried to use the mailing list but 
something has changed in that web page and I
did not figure out how to enter my query. The metal is Zn and it is in a 
tetrahedral strucuture. It is not completely
shielded from the environment.
Thanks,
Diana

 Hi Mr. Spoel,

   I am working with a small protein (50 aminoacids) that has a metal atom near 
its center. Where can I find the
parameters to be able to run a molecular dynamics of this protein?  In this 
one, the metal is tied to 4 sulfurs I will
run it with gromacs. Can you help me?


This is not simple, you will have to search the literature and/or perform quantum calculations to obtain charges. You do not give much details though. What metal? Is it tetrahedrally coordinated, i.e. is the metal shielded from the environment completely? In that case you can make chemical bonds using the specbond method.

Please continue this discussion on the gromacs mailing list.


Cordiially,
