Hello,

You can add a few ions manually or use genbox. However, it's probably better to use a vacuum force field and have your peptide uncharged for vacuum simulations. Any ions you add will have a very strong interaction with the peptide.

I assume you have a good reason to simulate in vacuo - the mailing list archives give many reasons why it's not advised.

Hi all,

I am performing a simulation in vacuum. The peptide has nonzero charge, so I attempted to neutralize the total charge via genion;however as it is known, it asks for a continuous group for replacing, but I have no solvent molecules for the replacement.

How can I neutralize the total charge while performing simulations in vacuum?

Thanks in advance

Oz.
