Hello everybody,

I'm trying to use a DPPC bilayers with charges from the Jacob Sonne et al. study (Biophys J., 2007). The problem is that the authors have defined a single group for the whole DPPC molecule. This allow them to define new accurate charge for the head group atoms and the first atoms of the acyl chains. It is a problem with Gromacs which tolerate only 32 atoms per group (When I try to minimize my system, I've got the error : Max #atoms in a charge group...). In Gromacs, is it possible to defined groups with a net charge different form an integer, like 0.026042? Would it be a problem if I use PME? Note that the net charge of the molecule is still zero, of course.

It would be possible, but as manual section 4.6.2 says, you now create net dipole moments in your system. I can't think of a reason it shouldn't be fairly easy to increase this maximum of 32.
