Hello.

I am using a porous structure (MOF). I am interested in how guest molecules inside the porous structure interact with each other and the pores of the structure. As my structure represents a rigid crystalline framework it is usually kept rigid/frozen and only non bonded parameters (LJ and electrostatics) are taken into account for this structure.

(I think) I read somewhere on the forum the energy group exclusions should be applied for frozen atoms (also if I don?t do this I get some v. large energies).

So I use the following in my .mdp file

; Selection of energy groups
energygrps               = MOF

; ENERGY GROUP EXCLUSIONS
; Pairs of energy groups for which all non-bonded interactions are excluded
energygrp_excl           = MOF MOF

However on running grompp I get the following warning:

WARNING 1 [file MCM_TDI.top, line 32874]:
  Can not exclude the lattice Coulomb energy between energy groups

Why is this? My frozen structure has partial charges but is overall charge neutral. To get around this I have to use maxwarn -1. I am a bit wary of using maxwarn. Can someone advise whether it is sensible to use maxwarn in this case?

Thanks

Jenny
