[gmx-users] non-neutral system

[Smith, Micholas D.]

A requirement of PME is that the net charge is zero. Adding counter-ions would be considered standard-fare. Check out the paper:  https://www.unc.edu/~perera/PAPERS/JChemPhys_1995_103_8577.pdf for details (A smooth particle mesh Ewald method).

Best of luck

Subject: [gmx-users] non-neutral system

Hi,

I  have a system containing similar charged atoms. So the total charge is
not zero.

Simulation results with cut-off coulomb seems reasonable,  but using PME
they are wrong (total columb potential is negative value which must be
positive). Any idea why?

If I use counter-ions to neutralize the system, I am afraid the properties
I am looking for (viscosity) will be influenced.

Best regards
