                       &gt; &gt;<br />
                       &gt; &gt; When prepare a system, the system had
                      +5.5. So I add 5 CL- ion to neutralize.<br />

                       &gt; &gt; But as you know, the Cl charge is -1
                      and there still is 5e-2. how can i remove that.<br />
                       &gt;<br />
                       &gt; Your statements are inconsistent. If you had
                      5.5 charge and added five<br />
                       &gt; chloride ions, you could not end up with
                      0.05.<br />
                      <br />
                       oh.. I have mistaken.. I had 5.005 of the system
                      charge.<br />
                        So even if added five choride ions, the system
                      charge is not zero. there was 0.005<br />
                      <br />
                       that is partial charge??  If like that, topology
                      is broken or something wrong? abnormal??<br />

                  Maybe, maybe not.  Rounding errors could account for
                  this difference, especially if your system is very
                  large.  Still, you should inspect your
                  topology/topologies for inconsistencies.  If pdb2gmx
                  created the topology, keep an eye on the &quot;qtot&quot; column
                  for a running total of the charge.  If you've made or
                  adjusted any topologies on your own, double-check your
                  work.  If everything looks correct, then the
                  difference is likely a consequence of floating-point
                  math and nothing more.<br />
