Dear gmx users,
I am trying to repeat Justin's Lysozyme tutorial for 1HFX.pdb,

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0YMTXH1gmQsUjVSd01ERXVpLTA/view?usp=sharing

I would like to know the total charge of my system but I have two statement
for that,after running

pdb2gmx -f 1HFX.pdb -o 1HFX_processed.gro -water spce

 one is saying -9e and 2e? I am a bit confuse can anyone tell me why it is
like this? I also checked the topol.top and there is no "qtot"


pdb2gmx -f 1HFX.pdb -o 1HFX_processed.gro -water spce
