Mdrun doesn't know of pH as a numerical value, the only way to simulate 
the pH is to explicitly add the hydrogen or hydroxyl ions, that at 
neutral pH are too little quantity of ions. Which one should do is to 
equilibrate the charges with counterions, and if you should have a 
certain ionic stength, you may add more salt ions.
