well-suited to inserting polyatomic ions. Also, what are you choosing to
replace here? genion is designed to replace water molecules with
monoatomic ions, but you haven't added any water yet. If you're simply
replacing elements of the "System" group, you've probably got fractional
species somewhere. I would be willing to bet that this process is what is
causing your problem. Check the contents of the coordinate file and
topology before and after genion, and you will probably find the problem.
Solution: don't use genion. Use genbox -ci -nmol to add your 8 OH
molecules.<br><br>-Justin<br><br>> (f) genbox -cp added_ions.gro

attempting this? What command(s) did you give? What subsequent
modifications to your topology did you make?<br>><br>> The generic
