Hi,
Yes, U need to create artificial bond using bond command. Also, u need
to supply all the req parameters and it is not there in parm99.dat.
There is a very nice tutorial for treating metal ions, in the amber
tutorial section (by Ross Walker).
U can take parameters, from his thesis, which is also available..
