[gmx-users] Concentration

[Mu Yuguang (Dr)]

Could you first solvate that protein with pure water. And then replace
the solvating water molecules with other molecules you want to add.
In DNA simulation we do this way to add counter ions.

Subject: [gmx-users] Concentration

Dear Gromacs users,
i hope someone can help me out from a little 
problem.
I have to build a system of a protein in water and a known 
concentration of other molecules.
I tried to build and equilibrate a 
small box of solvent at the right concentration, but when i solvate the 
protein the ratio water/other molecules changes.
I think that this 
happens because of the removal of molecules with close contacts with 
the protein.
I could arrive at the wanted conc. by trial and error but 
that would cost very much time. (many different molecules and different 
concentrations) 
Anyone can suggest me a way to overcome this problem. 
Thank you,
Luigi Burgi
