Hi

I have figured out the vacuum slow problem. It turns out I was using PBC in vacuum with PME. It is now fixed.

The other problem is still there. My protein has 2 chains. one chain is simply a glutamate residue. Its charge (both terminii charged is -1.11 instead of -1). here is the section of the topology with the charges. Why does pdb2gmx assign a charge of -1.11 instead of -1 if there is a free glutamate molecule with NH3+ and COO- at the terminii ?

You're not choosing the termini correctly. Use -ter with pdb2gmx and select the zwitterion forms of both termini.

    Hi

    I have a protein whose topology I built using pdb2gmx with the -ss
    option and the opls-aa force field. When I run grompp, the total
    charge on the protein is reported as 2.9 (not 2.999). Why a
    non-zero charge? Does this have something to do with the disulfide
    bridge?

    Something is materially wrong, like mangled termini. Have a look at
    the resulting structure.


    Secondly, when I run a simulation of the same protein (7000 atoms)
    with certain restraints in vacuum, the simulation runs very slow.
    I am wondering why. I am not using particle decomposition. the box
    size is 50 x 50 x 50 nm. Using 4.5.3

    Have a look at the end of the .log file for some performance data.
    How are you assessing "very slow"?
