In this type of complex a difficulty is to set up the molecular
topology. I strongly suggest you to use Ante_R.E.D. for that;
Ante_R.E.D. should generate the correct topology (independently of the
number of connectivities between the metal & the bioorganic atoms) for
your complex _if_ your initial Cartesian coordinate set is correct.
Then, you need to connect your complex to your protein. Here you have
to to define head/tail in your complex. You can also use the "bond"
command in LEaP.
Before MD, to see if your 'whole protein + complex' has the correct
topology - do not solvate your molecule ;-), you might use the
"savemol2" command as shown in
http://q4md-forcefieldtools.org/Tutorial/leap.php
Then, you can study the connectivities in the .<TRIPOS>BOND section to
see if the bond you suspect to be missing is really missing.
