[gmx-users] How to neutralize net charge of protein and why

Dear Friends,
During first step of MD (pdb2gmx) I come to know that my protein having net
charge -42 e (it has two chain, A and B each having -21 e ).
Why neutral system is preferable for further steps of MD & what kind of
problem encounter with charged system ?
Should i have to add 21 Na+ to make it neutral, through "genion"?

Regards,
Rituraj
