Hi all,

I'm experiencing a strange problem with genion that I have never seen before. I am preparing some membrane systems, many of which involve a large number of charged lipids (several hundred). When using lipids with PC headgroups (no net charge), the following works fine:

genion -s ions.tpr -o system_solv_ions.gro -pname NA+ -nname CL- -neutral -conc 
0.15

The only charged species is the embedded protein (-3 net charge). However, if I process a system containing, for example, 512 POPG lipids, genion (with the same command given above), always leaves the system with a net +2 charge. Even if I change -rmin (down to 0.1) or -seed, I get the same result, always a net +2. Obviously, I can fix this with another round of genion, but I was curious to see if there was some reason genion fails with the above command for systems with large numbers of charged species. I am using GMX 3.3.3.

Thanks for your attention.

-Justin
