Dear Anthony,
Sodium and calcium are included in parm99, so you have the parameters,
but a prep file for calcium is not included in the .in files, so you
have to create your own and load it in leap with the
command "loadamberprep file_name.prep". A prep file with a single ion
is very simple and should look like this one we used to solve a
similar problem
0 0 2
Calcium Ion
CAL.res
CAL INT 0
CORR OMIT DU BEG
0.000000
1 DUMM DU M 0 -1 -2 0.0000 0.0000 0.0000 0.000
2 DUMM DU M 1 0 -1 1.0000 0.0000 0.0000 0.000
3 DUMM DU M 2 1 0 1.0000 90.0000 0.0000 0.000
4 Ca+ C0 M 3 2 1 1.0000 90.0000 180.0000 2.000
DONE
STOP
The first three atoms are dummy atoms, and then there is rhe calcium
ion with its atom type (taken from parm99), the internal coordinates
with respect to the dummy atoms and the charge (2.000). Ca+ was the
atom name of calcium in our PDB file, you can change it either in your
pdb or in the prep file, but they must be the same. CAL is the residue
name (CAL residue is formed only by atom Ca+ ), and this name must be
the same in your PDB and prep file. The identity of names is needed to
allow leap to recognize who is who in the different files.
Best Regards
Stefano Pieraccini
