Hi ,
I am currently doing simulation of Fe dependent enzyme using Amber ff and I
too had problem and copied sigma and Epsilon from OPLS ff and so for my
simulation goes on fine.

Note that those parameters are not official OPLS (and are being removed anyway because of this fact) and certainly shouldn't be copied around between force fields. Just because the simulation doesn't crash doesn't mean it's a valid physical model.

The reference for the parameters is given in the .atp file and indicates validation in the context of Fe2+ hydrates and nothing else. The level of theory may be compatible with OPLS, but that remains to be determined. I would not think the same parameters would necessarily be valid for any other Fe-containing prosthetic group. The LJ parameters are probably of less concern than the problems associated with charges in such species.
