Not for the sake of the PME, since your system has no net charge. However, there a few papers out there discussing the need for counterions for proper folding and such.

Hi all,

My peptide contains two adversely charged residues. I use PME option for the investigation of electrostatic interactions within my system. The total charge of the box must be neutral. Since the system contains adversely charged residues, is it still necessary to add counter ions into the system?

Thanks in advance!
