It appears that what Amber does is truncate the charge (possibly because
it casts to an integer). It could be changed to allow for some kind of
tolerance pretty easily, I think.
I'm a little wary of changing tleap's behavior that has been this way
for decades. In my experience, this problem can be fixed just by making
sure that any ligand residues have a full integer charge.
I'll raise this for discussion on the developer's list to get some
ideas. It may be that we can do something like add a keyword that
allows someone to specify a tolerance that would trigger the addition of
one more ion so there's an easy way of getting the behavior you want
without modifying existing behavior.
All the best,
Jason
