Hello,
 
         I am using MD to study the dynamics of a solvated Protein/DNA
complex with explicit waters, Na+ and Cl-.
        We know of several studies on WATER residence times near both
proteins and DNA (Wuttrich, Otting, Gueron, etc.)
        Is there any comparable research on ION experimental or
theoretical residence times for Na+, Cl- or other monovalent ions which
are coordinated with either proteins or DNA?
 
                                         Thanks,
 
                                         Linjing Yang
