Hi Andres,

in total you have 10475 (198+10277) SOL molecules, so you can condense
the two SOL lines into one. Suppose you add 20 NA+ and 20 CL-, you
subtract 40 SOL molecules from the system and add 40 ions in total. So
you write:

[ molecules ]
; Compound        #mols
Protein_A           1
SOL             10435
NA+                20
CL-                20

There are now 40 SOL molecules less (10475-30=10435) and the ions are
added. Don't forget to add an #include "ions.itp" under
"Include generic topology for ions"
