[gmx-users] LR electrostatics in single point energy calculations

[rajat desikan]

Hi Justin,

I used the following commands:

mdrun_mpi -s md_6_50ns.tpr -rerun md_6_50ns.gro
gmxdump_mpi -e ener.edr > ener_readme

And in the dump of the ener_readme file, I have the following terms:

Coul-SR:Protein-Protein  -6.62324e+05
LJ-SR:Protein-Protein  -5.64854e+04
Coul-14:Protein-Protein   4.04345e+05
LJ-14:Protein-Protein   3.29438e+04

Coul-SR:Protein-POPC  -1.97403e+03
LJ-SR:Protein-POPC  -4.64531e+03
Coul-14:Protein-POPC   0.00000e+00
LJ-14:Protein-POPC   0.00000e+00

...etc

There is neither a Coul-recip nor a Coul-LR term. So, I was wondering about
it. The Coul-recip is the reciprocal space term in a Ewald summation
calculation, right? I want the total potential energy of the protein. How
would I go about that?

Thanks.
