Hi Sowmya
I am not sure what you mean by "I think concentration cans be adjusted
up to 0.1M, can you clarify ?
The constant pH calculation you might want uses a reference compound,
tyrosine in solution, which is done at some level of ionic strength. Fo
r the most part, ionic strength has a VERY minor role in changing pKas,
but if you think you need to adjust this, you need to change the
reference free energy in cpin to reflect the pka of tyrosine in solution
at the new ionic strength.
If you want to keep the tyrosines in the deprotonated state and NOT
aloow them to change, then all I wrote above does not matter. Al you
need to do is set up a constant pH calculation with those tyrosines
treated as titratable, then start the simulation in the deprotonated
state, and set the input so you never try to change the protonation state.
It is a bit of a hack, but it is exact.
