[AMBER] About the Mg charge in AMBER FF

Hello

Sorry if this is trivial. Is there an issue with the +2 charge of Mg in
AMBER FF or in other FFs? I mean, is there evidence from simulations that
the use of +2 value will cause artifacts such as too strong interactions
between Mg and negatively charged residues Asp, Glu?

If this is the case would an ad hoc solution like the reduction of Mg
charge to, say, +1.5 have any point?

Many thanks in advance for any clue on this.

Best wishes
George
