Dear gmx-users,

Although  this task has been already discussed few years ago 
(http://lists.gromacs.org/pipermail/gmx-users/2007-January/025668.html) the 
full summary is not clear to me. So I would really appreciate if somebody could 
give me advice on the following subject.

I am trying to simulate an aqueous solution of NaCl. One of the properties I am 
interested in is surface tension, which means that correction to the pressure 
could be quite important.  But the system is heterogeneous: values of C_6 
differs from 0.0003 (for Na-Na) to 0.0180 (for Cl-Cl), so they are not 
comparable. Is it worth to use dispersion correction in such a system? Or such 
results will have no real meaning and the proper way would be to switch off the 
dispersion correction and just increase cut-off (or perform rerun with higher 
cut-off)?

Thanks you very much in advance,
Mikhail
