[gmx-users] counterions

[Ran Friedman]

Hi,

People normally add counter ions to neutralise their system. It is also 
common to add a few salt ions in order to stabilise simulations of 
biomacromolecules (you can search pubmed for a publication by Ibragimova 
and Wade related to the subject) or simply to mimic physiological 
conditions.

To the best of my knowledge, you should neutralise the total charge of 
your system if you use PME (but check the archives - not everybody 
agrees on it).
