Hi Garima,

There is a metal ion modeling tutorial for AMBER: http://ambermd.org/tutorials/advanced/tutorial20/index.htm <http://ambermd.org/tutorials/advanced/tutorial20/index.htm>.

You are going to use the 12-6 nonbonded model, right? If so, you can check the tutorial here: http://ambermd.org/tutorials/advanced/tutorial20/nonbonded_model.htm <http://ambermd.org/tutorials/advanced/tutorial20/nonbonded_model.htm>.

There are parameters for Pb2+ in the “frcmod.ions234lm_126_tip3p”, “frcmod.ions234lm_126_spce”, and “frcmod.ions234lm_126_tip4pew” files (which are the CM set, or called the normal usage set), I suggest you to check the section 3.6 in the AMBER 2017 manual: http://ambermd.org/doc12/Amber17.pdf <http://ambermd.org/doc12/Amber17.pdf>. There are also HFE parameter set for Pb2+ but I don’t think it is suitable for normal molecular dynamics production simulation.

Hope it helps,
Pengfei
