[gmx-users] A question on using g_density for electron densities.

[Hwankyu Lee]

I appreciate you for your answer again.  I think it is a good idea, but 
I would like to make sure if it  is right with listening to more 
people's opinions.
Therefore, I would like to know the exact meaning of this sentence in 
the GROMACS manual:
"the number of electrons for each atom is modified by its atomic 
partial charge."
How could we modify # of electrons by using partial charge?
Thanks for your help in advance.

best,
Hwankyu.
