Dear Calos

GB implicit solvent model with IG=5

Bonds between 2HIS and 2CYS to Zinc metal ion (II), as described in ZAFF
model. I also followed same protocol. For shorter rMD (20ps) coordination
geometry wont change much and I gave tetrahedral geometry, but if I change
rMD total time 40 or 100ps then metal geometry changes. However geometry
visually close to tetrahedral geometry, but when I check in chimera, the
pdbs from 40 or 100ps rMD showed deviation (trigonal bi-pyramidal) in the
metal geometry and not tetrahedral geometry in 20ps rMD.

thank you
Vince
