[gmx-users] non zero charge in topolgy

Dear experts,

1- I am trying to produce tpr file for EM (there is one hexane molecule in
my system). It seems top file has non zero charge. could you please help me
how to deal with this problem.

2-To run the simulation for one single hexane molecule what should the box
size be? it is- box  3 3 3 -angles 90 90 90 now!

3- Also in the top file (generated by pdb2gmx) the molecules name that
automatically appears is "protein". I dont have water molecule in my sys.
Can I change the name of the molecule and remove water topology by hand? I
dont know why water topoly is included....

Thank you :)
