thank you for the paper, I'm reading it. I'm running QM calculation on the zinc-histidine system to calculate the charge, but what I don't know is how to incorporate them in a new force fields and how to calculate torsional parameters? I'll get them in the gaussian ouyput?
Should I modify manually the force field or is better to use antechamber to obtain the .prepi for the small system?

Best,

mattia

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
