I am interested in studying the dynamic behavior via MD simulations by utilizing the benchmarked OPLS force field. In this course, I have fired various calculation with QM optimized structure (anion is not bonded covalently to the receptor) as input into the Schrodinger, Desmond package. Also, I did take care of the charge of the anion during the system preparation. It is interesting or rather frustrating to see in the results that the anion is getting completely separated out from the receptor cavity or in other words it doesn't display any interaction as can be seen from the trajectory (which is completely wrong). I believed that there were some problems in reading the atom types or with the force field parameterizations. Taking care of this issue, I have elevated all types of efforts but unable to trace out the devil. I suspect that the molecular mechanics method are unable to model the non-bonded interactions or specifically charged non-bonded systems (I may be wrong).
Meanwhile, I am approaching to all the members and request to please give your kind remark and help me in modeling the ionic-supramolecular complexes.
