[gmx-users] charge neutralization in vacuum simulations

[João Henriques]

May I ask why you need the system to be net neutral *in vacuum*? Notice
that I stress "in vacuum". I mean, it's not like you need to use PME or
anything like that. Vacuum simulations are usually done without PBC, so a
simple Coulomb potential without cutoff should be fine.

I don't routinely perform vacuum simulations, so I may be wrong. Correct me
otherwise.

Best regards,
João
