Are you referring to AuCl as a solid, somehow interacting with a
protein; is there water around? (Note that AuCl has a tendency to
disproportionate into metallic Au and AuCl3 when in contact with water.)

For such a situation, MCPB won't help: it is designed for situations
where cation and anion dissoicate, and the metal cation is bound to
protein atoms.
