1st. leave the xtal water in. pdb2gmx will generate hydrogen positions for
them that you can optimize with energy minimization. Then add waters with
genbox.

correct with genbox.

>b) ... is there any other way to include the xtal-W in the solvation box?
see above.

>c) How can I manage to build a box with a cosolvent (say DMSO)?
use genbox with a dmso box. if you need mixed solvent, make a mixed
solvent first and then give that to genbox.

Groeten, David.
