[gmx-users] pH

[Ilya Chorny]

The number of protons present at ph = 7.0 is
10^-7M. Thats 10^-7 moles of protons in about
55 moles of water. 1 proton in 10^9 water molecules. Most
simulations are on the order of 10^3-10^4

The pH for most relevant pH ranges is determined
by the protonation state of the molecules in the water and not by
the water.

>What pH are the simulations in GROMACS carried out at?

You set that yourself.

>Is here anyway to change that pH?

Change the protonation of the species present in the simulation.

There is a thread on the emailing list back from about 2 months ago or so,
that covers this in some detail.
