      You are right,But all of them(as I know) have integer charges!<br>
      the problem is simullating a system with partial charges.<br>

                      <br>
                      I had the same problem.<br>
                      I modified the charges and charge groupsin the&nbsp;
                      topology of a drug.the net charge of it is zero(I
                      am sure)<br>
                      though,when I used pdb2gmx it resulted a NOTE like
                      the following:<br>
                      <br>
                      NOTE:The system has non-zero total charge:
                      3.000003e00<br>
                      I continued simulation and ignored it!<br>
                      Because:<br>
                      1- I checked my protein.top and qtot was 3<br>
                      2-the net charge of my drug was 0<br>
                      3-Besides,all charges have 3 digit precision,How
                      can it have 0.000003 additional charge?!<br>

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

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