Here is a supplement:

For the Calcium ion, you can use the VDW parameters we determined in the following paper:

Again, my question would be, since the idea is to compare the stability of the metal site in the presence of either Ca or Mn, how comparable do you think would it be, if I use RED for Ca, and MCPB for Mn? Or would you rather recommend that, if I use RED, I do everything with RED?
