      I had the same problem.<br>
      I modified the charges and charge groupsin the  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>

               &gt; &gt; Hi,<br>
               &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;<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>
               <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 "qtot" 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>
