Hi,
I am trying to perform SMD with a Zinc +2 ion inside a transporter tunnel, but either the Zn does not move at all, or if apply too much force the system is destroyed, or I am doing something wrong….
Can anyone please direct me to some good paper using amber for this specific purpose?
Meaning trying to pull an ion from its initial X-ray position out of the transmembrane region of a transporter?
I am starting to think that amber is not well suited for treating this specific question or that the forcefield parameters for Zn+2 are not good enough. Another thing that is probably making the work more difficult is that the vector I am using to pull is centered in a water molecule on the approximate direction of the channel exit, but obviously the channel is not a vector…
Anyway any paper or review or information that could help me to make this experiment more correct will greatly help me.
Thanks!!
