Thank you Mark and Justin,

I didn't specified the termini, but when I choose the zwitterionic forms the net charge becomes -4.670.


You shouldn't; as I said before, zwitterionic termini are only for single amino acids, not full-length proteins.

Without specifying the termini, the first non integer residue is residue nr. 12 arginine: qtot 4 to qtot 4.82.

Are you missing any atoms?  What was your exact pdb2gmx command?

-Justin

If both termini are in the zwitterionic forms, the error is right at the 1st residue (methionine): total charge: 0.9
