Dear Mark:

Thanks for your answer. I have to use the same mdp file for both water and
another polymer molecules in my system, right?  Then if the shift function
works well for the polymer, I can not get the best result for TIP5P?  The
density of TIP5P is different from the literature value of 982. Thanks!
