Hi,

Thanks for your reply!

The protein has 51 residues and 530 atoms. I included explicit waters in
the simulations. The following are coulomb energies of the total system
from Cut-off and PME, respectively.

Cut-off:

Energy                      Average       RMSD     Fluct.      Drift 
Tot-Drift
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Coulomb-14                 5793.36    39.3909    39.1433 -0.00305485  
-15.2743
Coulomb (SR)                -248203    671.972    668.068  -0.050111  
-250.555
Coulomb (LR)               -3725.48    425.932    418.264  0.0557401   
278.701
Total                       -246136         --         --   --

PME:

Energy                      Average       RMSD     Fluct.      Drift 
Tot-Drift
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Coulomb-14                  5800.09    42.6203    42.4826 -0.00197631  
-11.8579
Coulomb (SR)                -215201    573.112    573.087 -0.00309615  
-18.5769
Coulomb (LR)               -34776.9    45.6159    45.6125 0.00032001   
1.92006
Total                       -244178         --         --     --        
--

If you need any other information, please let me know. I noticed that,
the coulomb energies of the whole system are similar, why it is
different when I only considered protein?

Zhiyong
