Re: [AMBER] Adding ions at a particular position

To add a further possible solution to Gustav's list:
- You could use an (in this region) structural similar protein with an
ion present, do a structural superposition of the respective region with
your ion-free system, and then use the ion position in your protein of
interest.

Best regards,
