Dear Vlad,
An additional parameter set for Mg2+ that I adapted based on the latest
numbers from Aqvist:
Mg 0.6245 28.4444 Mg2+ Aqvist THEOCHEM 1992 (adapted)
The numbers look quite different from the ones previously mentioned
(steeper potential at short distances with a deeper minimum in the
Mg...Ow potential), but this should give accurate solvation free energy
for TIP3P water and a correct rdf-peak.
Peter
I compared the these parameters in DNA simulations and it is hard to see
