Hi Andres, in total you have 10475 (198+10277) SOL molecules, so you can condense the two SOL lines into one. Suppose you add 20 NA+ and 20 CL-, you subtract 40 SOL molecules from the system and add 40 ions in total. So you write:
[ molecules ] ; Compound #mols Protein_A 1 SOL 10435 NA+ 20 CL- 20 There are now 40 SOL molecules less (10475-30=10435) and the ions are added. Don't forget to add an #include "ions.itp" under "Include generic topology for ions" Marcus Andres Rojas Guerrero wrote: > Hi, I'm newbie in Gromacs and MD, I'm reading the Tsjerk excellent > tutorial.
