  Hi all, 
  I want to energy minimize a structure (two proteins + 4 ligands) in a water box (dodecahedron). The total charge is not 0. what should I do better: 
  - add the ions I need to avoid this charge. 
  - add negative ions to compensate the positive charges (Asn, Gln in the protein and positive charges in the ligands) and positive ions to compensate negative charges (Glu, Asp in the protein and ligands), so the total charge will be 0. 



  Just neutralize the system. The two options that you posed seem to me are the same, arent't they?

  Regrads,

  Nuno



  Thanks in advance, 
  Cheers, 

Ruben
