To my knowledge, tleap could just perform modeling and could not perform parameterizations itself. You can preserve the atomic ions in PDB file when modeling related system using tleap due to Amber has library file for atomic ions (atomic_ions.lib in recent versions). However, for the HEME group, Amber doesn’t have standard lib file in its database, you can use the files from here: http://sites.pharmacy.manchester.ac.uk/bryce/amber <http://sites.pharmacy.manchester.ac.uk/bryce/amber>, or you can parameterize the system by using MCPB.py.

Kind regards,
Pengfei
