Hello Anselm,
Unfortunately, changing anything besides the atomic charges upon a successful protonation state change would require modifications in Amber's source code.
All the best,

Subject: [AMBER] CpHMD with structurally different protonation states?
Dear all,
a question to the CpHMD experts:
Is it possible to apply the constant-pH simulation approach to systems,
where the protonated state differs from the deprotonated one in the
local structure, i.e. atom types and local parameters in addition to
atomic charges?
A collegue of mine was interested in investigating such a species, where
deprotonation results in a different local structure, going from
all-planar to out-of-plane distorsion.
As far as I understood the CpHMD approach implemented in Amber, the
different protonation states are realized by applying different charge
sets and Hydrogen radii to the titratable residue, keeping the
perturbation of the system small. And thus, no further change besides
atomic charges and the presence or absence of H atoms could be taken
into account.
Is this correct? Or are there some advanced options, e.g. to switch
between complete topology files?
Best regards
Anselm
