Using TI to change charges is overkill, as is hand editing of residues in
LEaP. What I would do is:
(1) Look at what files are being loaded into LEaP when I create the
parameters/topology for the protein of interest.
If this is parm94/99 or a modification, this is the commands:
loadOff all_amino94.lib
loadOff all_aminoct94.lib
loadOff all_aminont94.lib
(2) Copy those files to my local directory. If they are in the local
directory, these have precedence for loading over the ones in the AMBER
distribution.
(3) Edit those files and make copies of the histidine residue of interest,
then change the name on the second (new) instance to a name not in use for
residues, such as HI1 or HI2.
(4) Change the charges on the new copies to do the modification of
interest.
(5) Change the name of the HIS residues of interest in the PDB to the new
names.
Things to watch out for; if you are doing terminal histidines, you will
want to make modifications to the all_aminoct94.lib (C-terminus) or
all_aminont94.lib (N-terminus) library files.
There are multiple types of histidine residues, specifically, HIP
(doubly protonated, +charge), HID (H on delta position) and HIE (H on
epsilon) so you may want to make sure you are assigning the type you want.
If you do not care, by default HIS maps to HIE (which may or may not be
what you want).
Back to the new residue names, maybe I would do HE1 (for epsilon,
modification 1) and HD1 (for delta modification) rather HI1 to avoid
confusion.
Editing the files by hand (either to create new libraries with these
modifed residues with new unused names or to modify *copies* of the
canonical files) is much easier than changing charges in LEaP.
One could also consider editing the prmtop by hand, but this is even more
tedious...
