[gmx-users] Is it possible to turn off protein-water interaction?

[Erik Lindahl]

Hi Ruhong,

No - you've probably found the concept of energy groups, but they 
cannot yet be applied to individual terms.

However, you might soon be able to do it using groupwise decoupling 
that I'm implementing for Free Energy calculations.

Let's see if David has any smart idea, though :-)

Cheers,

Erik
