I would check to see what solvation radii are being used for the Zinc,
that's like the problem since it's only used in the GB calc and not
the explicit water one. look carefully in your leap and sander outputs
for messages related to this. you might also check to see if the GB
energy is going down a lot when this happens. I recall this being
discussed before on the list, so you should check the archives. search
for zinc radii or zinc radius.
