[gmx-users] generation of ions additional to solvent molecules

[Erik Marklund]

Dear Raag,

Where would those extra ions go? If you need a higher number density of ions than the solvent (assuming the box is full of water, plus the protein) you will most likely raise the pressure of the system to bizarre levels. What ion concentration are you aiming for? Is that a reasonable concentration?

Kind regards,
Erik
