[gmx-users] charged proteins

[Marc Baaden]

Hi,

thanks for this very interesting discussion .. I also want to throw
some questions in .. especially as I am running simulations on a
membrane protein in lipid/water with ions, right now with a 14/18
cut-off. So - unless I am wrong - reaction field is not an option due
to the system anisotropy.

Maybe I haven't looked hard enough at my system yet, but I haven't
noticed huge artefacts, so far everything is quite reasonable. so
what kind of artefacts should I be looking for ?

(And by the way is there any reference ? I do not mean the general
 PME vs cutoff things tested in a box of pure water, but something
 thoroughly tested on a more complex system, eg a water/lipid/ions
 system)

  Marc
