Thank you very much for your answers. Anyway, if I want to simulate my protein with Amber, would it be a big problem to combine parameter from Amber with parameters from OPLS for water and/or ions?

Parameters for water might well be the same. Generally speaking, mixing forcefields is a bad idea. See http://wiki.gromacs.org/index.php/Parameterization. You might survive borrowing an ion, but check the literature thoroughly for any reports of suitable ions, and/or reconsider your force field choice.
