Hi,
The RED server is for RESP charge evaluation and I am not sure if it can help design metal ion FFs and if so, how good it is overall for these cases. Ambertools has metal ion FF building capabilities (MCPB) including charge derivation. The reference doi describing this is attached. Good luck!

I plan to calculate the charge of the Zn ion since coordination would definitely have changed its +2 charge. I know I can rely on the RED server for this, but under the charge method (e.g. Resp-A1A), how do I know which one is suitable.?

However, one should bear in mind that a macromolecular refinement against high resolution data is never finished, only abandoned.
