This is more a question to ask about a specific set of ion parameters
within a force field, not of a piece of software. If you are simulating
monovalent salt ions, then the parameters should be pretty good. I
would suggest looking into the citations for the different ion
parameters provided within Amber and see what they say.
Divalent metal ions are a different story. I would recommend looking at
chapter 3, section 9 (page 45) in the Amber 14 manual for a more
thorough discussion of ion parameters (as well as a list of references
to consult for more information).
