I want to do an MD simulation in gromacs on a protein to study the effects of calcium conc (around 400 nM). I want a good protocol to introduce calcium ions in to the system to have the desired conc.

I will be mostly studying the changes in sec. structure pattern, stability, and calcium binding sites. Is there anything else I should be looking for (any suggestions)?

Also, since there will be a lot of calcium ions in the system, will it be stable, I mean, do I have to neutralize the system with suitable Cl- ions? (which is unfavourable since I don't want Cl- in my system).
