Dear all,

I performed simple simulations of TIP4P-Ew water for 500 ps with three different GROMACS versions, namly 3.2.1, 3.3.1 and 4.0.2. There are 1000 molecules in the box and the temperature was 303 K at 1 bar. When I compare the total energies of the three equilibrated simulations I get:

-38642.4 for GROMACS 4.0.2
-38638.2 for GROMACS 3.3.1
-38491.5 for GROMACS 3.2.1

So the 3.2.1 energies deviate by ca 150 kJ/mol from the other two. If I completly switsh off the coulomb interactions all energies are the same. Does anyone know a reason for that? I don't find anything about the 3.2.1 version at the web site.

regards
