In my EF-PROTEIN system, the Ca2+ coordination hold a good octahedron coordination
if we regard the water molecule as a ligand when using the calcium parameter in
amber99 forcefield.
of cource, I change both the radius and the epsilon values to use the small
parameter, calcium ions escape from a C2-domain, but is ok in EF-protein, while
the Ca-O distance is too samll, only 2.1-2.4.
Did I make it clear?

explicit solvent (GB not used). In both cases, Ca2+ escapes the binding pocket by
more than 1 Angstrom. In the explicit-solvent minimization, the distances between
Ca2+ and the 6 oxygens range from 2.74 to 3.52 with an average of 3.10. I have not
done MD with PBC yet since mimizations do not look right.
