RE: AMBER: Zinc-Histidine force field

You can borrow some parameters from our following study on the p53 DNA
binding domain:

Molecular Dynamics Simulations of p53 DNA-Binding Domain, Lu, Q.; Tan,
Y.-H.; Luo, R., J. Phys. Chem. B., 2007, 111(39), 11538-11545.

In general, you'll have to do some QM calculations to get the parameters for
your specific system.

Best,
Ray

Subject: AMBER: Zinc-Histidine force field

Dear amber users,
I'm trying to work with zinc protein  but I got some problems during the
parametrization with tleap.
When I bound the Zn ion to the NE2 of the three histidins with the command
"bond" and saveamberparm I get this error message:

Could not find bond parameters for : NB - Zn
Could not find angle parameters for: CV - NB - ZN
Could not find angle parameters for: CR - NB - ZN
......
parameter files was not saved


I think I've to built the .prep file and/or to modify the force field for my
protein but I don't know how to do that.
Do someone can tell me if there are some tutorials about? or where to find a
reliable forcefield fo MMPs protein?

thank you very much.

Mattia
