There is a "consant pH" facility (see the manual) that gets close to what you
are asking for; this only works for implicit solvation. You could also
calculate pKa's of the individual sidechains (in either implicit or explict
solvent) and use that to get an absolute scale. For an example, see:
%A T. Simonson
%A J. Carlsson
%A D.A. Case
%T Proton binding to proteins: pKa calculations with explicit and implicit
%solvent models
%J J. Am. Chem. Soc.
%V 126
%P 4167-4180
%D 2004
....good luck...dac
