[gmx-users] solvation box for say 50mM chaps solution

[ABEL Stephane 175950]

HI shahid,
 
you can also use the following formula
 
((N_chaps/(Nw*Vw))/6.02214179)*10000=density you want in (Mol) 
Where 
- N_chaps is the number of  chaps mol. 614.88 g (from wikipedia)
- Nw : number of water mol. 
- Vw : volume of water (30 A3 in ambiant condition) ~
- 6.02214179 Avogadro number 
- 10000 : correction factor 
 
I hope this will help

An aqueous solution has density close to 1g/mL. That's enough to make an
estimate of the number of molecules, which you can refine if you don't
like the resulting equilibrated size/density/concentration/whatever.
