There is a point-charge model of Mg2+ in the AMBER force fields but
this is not a great approximation.
I posted this before, but:
In my simulations I have been using the Mg representation from:
Oeschlaeger et al. Magnesium-cationic dummy atom molecules enhance
representation of DNA polymerase beta in molecular dynamics
simulations: improved accuracy in studies of structural features and
mutational effects. J Mol Biol. 2007 Feb 16;366(2):687-701. Epub 2006
Nov 3.
I have prepared frcmod and off files, available at:
http://atlas.physbio.mssm.edu/~tom/files/MD6.tar.gz
You can use the leaprc.md6 in that archive with leap to load the parameters.
Hope that helps,
