[gmx-users] free energy calculations in charged systems

[Maik Goette]

Hi

Cant' give you a sound answer, but from what I heard from talking to 
people in the field, PME can't handle that properly. Maybe 
Cut-Off/Reaction-Field should be the long-range treatment of choice. 
Still, I don't know, if there may occur problems with that.

Maybe David (both) or Berk have some more sound comments on that.
