You'll probably keep the EDTA-Co(II) group rigid, but have to come up
with parameters for the -S-S- linker region yourself- you might try
using  
  http://davapc1.bioch.dundee.ac.uk/prodrg/
to help. 

You might create a new residue type with the Cys-S-EDTA moity, or create a
patch which modifies an existing Cys.

Please let us know if you need more guidance on this.

regards--
Charles
