Hello everyone, We calculate the potential of mean force (PMF) for the ion pair AB (the solute) in a solvent. The computation is made in terms of the COM pulling. The PMF includes both the solute-solvent and intrasolute interactions. We are interested only in the solvation energy, i. e. the electroststic interaction between A and B must be eliminated from the PMF. The question is, whether we have to subtract the true Coulomb energy 1/R (R is the inter-ionic distance) or this term is distorted during the PME computation and must be modified in some way before being subtracted. Thanks in advance for your help, Alexey Odinokov
