<div>hi Alan, </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Can you show us your modified ions.itp file (just the Cl part) and the exact command options you used for genion? <br></div>
<div>Thanks, </div>
<div>Vignesh<br></div>

<div><br></div>
<div>To people using ffamber.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>I have ffamber with ions.itp modified to recognise ffamber ions. All seems fine and working.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>So, I have a protein, net charge +4 e. In the pdb file there no ions and no water. I modify the pdb as said in ffamber instructions. All fine.</div>
<div>Then, I add water and hence I use genion to neutralise my system. I add 4 Cl. All fine.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>However when using grompp for preparing the inputs for a minimisation, I got a warning saying that my system is now +8 e. It happens no matter what ion I use with ffamber (being it pos or neg, or value 2). It's like if genion were counting only the ions and not reading the ion's charge value.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>I know it's reading my modified ions.itp file because otherwise genion will fail to process.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Has someone else seen that? Any comments?</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Despite this, I can minimise and carry on MD on my system. Is there any other to definitely know if GMX is computing the right charge values?</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Many thanks in advance.<br clear="all">Cheers,</div>
