[gmx-users] Thermodynamic State of SPC/E bulk water, by genbox

[Sikandar Mashayak]

I am concerned about the number density of water. At T = 300 K and P = 1
atm, SPC/E water has certain number density (no. of molecules/nm^3). With
genbox I get .gro file with 34.04 molecules/nm^3 number density, which will
remain constant even if I do equilibration in NVT simulation set up. So does
that 34.04 molecules/nm^3 corresponds to thermodynamic condition of water at
300K and 1 atm.

thanks
sikandar
